Reviews

[Anton Segers]

Teder hoorspel van de onvolprezen BBC, over wat een scheiding doet met een kind van zes jaar. Over de onvolwassenheid van volwassenen. Over de hoop van een kind op het redden van haar gezin.
Sterke vertolkingen, zeker ook van het kleine meisje. Sober, maar aangrijpend.

[Jan]

Great short story
