About the author
Annie Salomons was a Dutch writer, poet, and translator, born in Rotterdam in 1885 and later active across a remarkably long literary career. She published poetry early, then went on to write novels, essays, memoirs, and other prose, building a reputation as a versatile and widely read author.
Her work is often remembered for its accessible style and for the way it connects personal experience with the social world around her. Biographical sources also note that her recollections and memoir-like writing became an important record of Dutch literary life in her time.
Salomons died in The Hague in 1980. Though tastes changed over the decades, she remains a notable figure in Dutch literature for the breadth of her writing and for the window she offers into the cultural life of her era.
