'Verrassing!' Met een glunderend gezicht duwt Roel de folder in mijn handen. 'Een midweek samen in een hotelletje aan zee! Hoe vind je dat, Maartje?'Mijn blik glijdt naar de voorkant van de folder. Dat gebouw ... Ik houd de foto wat dichterbij. Nee, dit kan niet waar zijn.
Maartje is gelukkig getrouwd met Roel, van wie ze zielsveel houdt. Nu de kinderen uit huis zijn, genieten ze samen van hun vrije dagen. Als Roel voorstelt om samen een weekje naar Egmond aan Zee te gaan, beseft hij niet wat hij daarmee overhoophaalt. Maartje heeft als jong meisje een tijd doorgebracht in een koloniehuis in Egmond aan Zee. Aan deze periode bewaart ze geen goede herinneringen. Nooit heeft ze begrepen waarom haar moeder haar naar dit tehuis stuurde. Het vroegere koloniehuis is nu een hotel geworden. En uitgerekend dit hotel heeft Roel uitgekozen voor een midweek aan zee.
Als Roel op zomerkamp is, opent Maartje een doos met herinneringen aan het koloniehuis. Het verdriet dat jarenlang diep weggestopt zat, komt met volle kracht naar boven. Maartje ervaart dat dit niet alleen pijnlijk, maar ook helend is.
Deze roman gaat terug naar de jaren vijftig, de bloeitijd van de Nederlandse vakantiekolonies. Om gezondheidsredenen werden elk jaar duizenden kinderen naar zo'n kindertehuis gestuurd. Die zogenaamde bleekneusjes moesten daar minimaal zes weken blijven om aan te sterken.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days.
The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days.
Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Perfect for casual wear and dressy style
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
This sweater is soooo soft and the color is so rich. The fit of it is perfect, not too tight and not too baggy, just right and I used the size guide to pick my size. Just for reference, I am 5'3" and 130lbs, 38C bust. It's well made and washes great. I chose to hang dry mine as I typically don't put any of my sweaters in the dryer to dry, just to fluff them. I have this one in two colors, the green and the tan/beige and I would say they are both a true representative of the color shown.
