Sample Passage


On the island the nights were dark but short. When Tijmen woke up the sun was near its zenith. Even the birds sounded more cheerful. Angel lay there watching him. He had a fleeting thought about staying here for ever, together. This was where they belonged. Far away from the rest of the world, from Forrester, Sonny, Bennie’s girls, Barry Kanteel, Uncle Godfried and deceased fathers, endless rows of girls, wars, the paper... The gloom had suddenly come back. He was afraid; afraid that there was no longer a future.
      ‘I have to tell you something,’ Angel said.   
      Her voice sounded serious. He abandoned sleep, rubbed his eyes and smelled the sea breeze through the tent opening. He breathed, he was alive.
