A very simply-written novel that is morally complex.
I read this book because I saw it used in the Dutch production of Dear Evan Hansen and I wanted to know why.
It's not a bad book when speaking of quality. The second and third part are pretty interesting. The first part is disgusting, and I doubt whether it was completely necessary or whether it could be solved in a different way.

I read this in one sitting (so to speak, I was on a plane). It is sad and strange, but hard to stop reading.

This short, meditative novel is a cross between Thomas Mann and Anaïs Nin.
A 15-year old boy is seduced by a 30-year old woman for a brief, erotic relationship. When he sees her again, she is being tried for a horrific crime. He knows something about her that could mitigate the crime. Should he tell? Would you?
This fast-paced, intense book about guilt and shame will haunt you for a long time. It is a perfect book to read with someone else, because it leaves you with so much to ponder.
