Swift’s Waterland soaks into McEwan’s Cement Garden in this shocking and intense debut.

Incest, madness & romance in the peat.

Steeped in an unearthly and unsettling fenland landscape, relationships like that between Victor and his teen sister tend to mist up the perspectives of the ‘normal’.

Steamy, sensuous, atmospheric and ripe with longing and loneliness.

From the no-man’s-land between sea and soil in north-east Holland comes an outstanding book from an author who promises to be one of the first European literary stars of the new century.

Review:

‘An astonishing first novel. Here, out of the blue, we have a young man who proves to be a full blown writer from his first novel. The book has great style, tight structure and a haunting narrative. It’s all there, complete full grown craftmanship... a born writer who will be one of the most important Dutch authors of his generation.’
marcel moring, author of The Great Longing

From the Back Cover:

Incest, madness & romance in the peat

Swift’s 'Waterland' soaks into McEwan’s 'Cement Garden' in this shocking and intense debut.

Can an incestuous relationship ever be a happy one?

Steeped in an unearthly and unsettling fenland landscape, relationships like that between Victor and his teen sister tend to mist up the perspectives of the ‘normal’.

A decade on, Victor arrives in Paris to write a book about Kerouac. ‘All he possessed was his past, a writer’s greatest treasure. While not wanting to repudiate it, he aspired to the grandeur of loss.’ And it is there, in the security and oppressiveness of his childhood, in the lonely fens of Groningen, that Victor’s dark treasure lies – an oppresiveness symbolized by the alcoholism of his father – and of his incestuous love for his younger sister Lisa.

Steamy, sensuous, atmospheric and ripe with longing and loneliness.

From the no-man’s-land between sea and soil in north-east Holland comes an outstanding book from an author who promises to be one of the first European literary stars of the new century.

“An astonishing first novel. Here, out of the blue, we have a young man who proves to be a full blown writer from his first novel. The book has great style, tight structure and a haunting narrative. It’s all there, complete full grown craftmanship... a born writer who will be one of the most important Dutch authors of his generation.”
