Interim

In Between by Erik Hensel is a special and moving novel about two brothers and their search for happiness.

In Tussentijd, successful young businessman Damian gets the shock of his life when he sees his brother Paul on TV. Paul fled the stifling environment at home in the Netherlands at the age of fifteen and has not been heard from since. Damian makes a drastic decision and gets on a plane: he is going to visit his brother.

When he arrives, the man he meets is very different from what he expected. Paul is terminally ill, but turns out to be happier than ever. And although Damian comes to get his story straight, he is not the one with the questions. Paul holds up a mirror to him and asks confronting questions about love, success and happiness.
