Description:

The debut novel by screenwriter and former actress Marjolein Beumer, who also wrote the screenplay for the highly successful Soof films

A moving novel about the fallibility of life, the power of imagination and the bond between mothers and daughters

Catherina Pecheur has always been the centre of attention as a grande dame of the Dutch theatre, both on stage and off. When she starts to lose her memory, however, everything changes. Suddenly, she is dependent on the support of her daughter Laura. But she is not immediately open to a mother who has never been there for her. Moreover, Laura is worried about her own daughter.

Without an Audience is a story about the good and bad sides of motherhood. About the fallibility of life, the power of imagination and the fear of never being good enough. But above all it is an empathetic and moving novel about family and about love in all its vulnerability.
