Speaking of love

She was at that crossroads in life where you decide or don't decide that from now on you're going to do it without illusions.'

The power of Berkhof's long-term works is now bundled in short stories, a genre in which he proves himself a grand master. In these six stories we find a salutary freshness, a completely different vision of the event than we are used to, with a surprising plot around a woman who stands independently in life, or wants to start a new life, but is also sometimes overwhelmed by that life. After all: 'Nobody starts a new life. We always start our old life again. We die as the child they gave our name back then.'

Six magnificent, completely new stories, written especially for this collection and therefore showing a strong thematic coherence.
