"Een verschrikkelijk verhaal, aangrijpend. Dat zoiets echt gebeurde. En tegelijk is het een feelgood-boek. Ondanks al het leed en verdriet lees je over de kracht van familiebanden: ‘die zit net zo diep en is altijd aanwezig als een hartslag’. In het b"

"Het begon magistraal. Zó knap hoe je als lezer het verhaal wordt ingesleurd, en meteen gaat geven om de personages. Het was zo aangrijpend dat ik het soms gewoon moest wegleggen.

“I'm going to make the obvious point that maybe the word neurotic means the condition of being highly conscious and developed. The essence of neurosis is conflict. But the essence of living now, fully, not blocking off to what goes on, is conflict. In fact I've reached the stage where I look at people and say - he or she, they are whole at all because they've chosen to block off at this stage or that. People stay sane by blocking off, by limiting themselves.”
