This is a quiet book, humble in tone, with a fine, self-deprecating humour... It leaves the reader touched and with the impression of having seen and smelled the ever-damp Dutch platteland - TLS
Bakker's outstanding debut novel, set in the Dutch countryside, is one of those rare works of fiction that everyone should read - Irish Times
It could so easily be a bleak tale of regret but Bakker's spartan prose eloquently conveys humour - Financial Times
Intensely moving and compelling - Literary Review
Helmer lives on a remote farm in the flat expanses of the Dutch Platteland with his elderly father, caring for a small flock of sheep and his two beloved donkeys. It is a life he did not wish for; forced to return home following the death of his twin brother many years before. Deciding a change is needed, Helmer moves his dying father to an upstairs room, and begins to decorate. One day, his brothers' former fiancée appears unannounced, with her teenage son. Choices appear before Helmer for the first time. Will he be able to seek the life he wants, or has it escaped his grasp?
