Review:
'Sweet, dreamy, heart-warming. Raw, mean and chilling ... This book evokes virtually any emotion you can have. And then it is also beautifully written, with lots of tension and a touch of magic ... But most of all it is an incredibly surprising story. [...] With his precise, almost poetic descriptions, De Leeuw constantly gets you thinking — about human behaviour and feelings of others, but also about diversity.'
