Inhaltsangabe:

Having been called upon by an international corporation to perform a special task for them, Josh suddenly finds himself swept away on a high-stakes adventure that leads him to the heart of imagination with no idea how to break free from the lack of reality in which he now finds himself.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: ISABEL HOVING was born in Amsterdam. She began her career as a secondary-school teacher, during which time she became very active in the Dutch women's movement. She eventually gave up her job to study literary theory full-time and spent some months in Senegal, West Africa, for a research project — an experience that gave her a completely different perspective on the world and that she describes as a turning point in her life. Now a lecturer at Leiden University, Isabel Hoving lives with her partner and son in Amsterdam.


HESTER VELMANS has translated a number of novels from Dutch into English, including THE LILY THEATER by Lulu Wand and Renate Dorrestein's A HEART OF STONE, which won the Vondel Prize for Dutch Translation. In addition, she has contributed to her parents' wartime memoirs - EDITH'S STORY by Edith Velmans and LONG WAY BACK TO THE RIVER KWAI by Loet Velmans — and has written a children's novel, ISABEL OF THE WHALES.
