Esmé van den Boom (1993) is dichter en schrijver. Ze is gedreven door een nieuwsgierigheid naar het alledaagse en verborgen verhalen. Haar werk balanceert tussen fascinatie en ontdekking. Ze was huisdichter van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en werd door NRC uitgeroepen tot een van de tien schrijvers om in de gaten te houden. Met Eigen kamers, haar bundel over de dromen en angsten van Groningse vrouwen, won ze het Hendrik de Vriesstipendium. In 2024 en 2025 was ze stadsdichter van Groningen.

The Overstory by Richard Powers
"Loved the opening, I was on my way towards a four or five star review. But somewhere in the 3/3 part I got lost and it started to feel like a chore to finish. I also missed a lot of vital information due to the writing style. Might have had something" Read more of this review »

3,5 if you're looking for that cozy witchy murder mystery with Gilmore girls vibes, look no further. This will satisfy the craving. For me, it was a little slowly paced, but that is also what makes this a relaxing read. ...more
