120 years ago, one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world opened to the travellers of a Europe that shortly would be left unrecognisable due to the struggles of the WWI and the new world order. On the brink of this change, this work of historic fiction, The Station: An Antwerp Tale is set.
Alexandra Richardson will open to us this wonderful world of yesterday through the pages of her book. This event will be lead by the author herself, who will be available for Q&As and to sign copies of her book.
"This tale is a fascinating story about one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Antwerp central railway station. Through these pages we are drawn into the lives of striking characters, from the notorious King Leopold II in Brussels to the architect Louis Delacenserie in Bruges: two very different people. But there is also the captivating Jewish family with their young daughter Miriam who all cross paths with two resident Englishmen. Richardson accurately describes the palatial construction, touching on the many true events of the period making her novel a well worth read". Brigitte Beernaert.
