Description:
Amsterdam Oud-West 1949. The main character grows up in the family of a traumatized Jewish father and a mother from the Jordaan. Moving up in the world, moving to the South, success in business and being resilient. That's what life is all about. The main character thinks very differently about this. He wants to escape his bourgeois environment and become a poet or artist. A grand and compelling life. That struggle forms the common thread in a turbulent sequence of developments. This book describes a period of 40 years. It ends with the death of his wife, after which he is left alone with 3 children. A moving life story full of humor and tragedy. Candid and vividly written.
