Steffie Verstappen: Afscheidsbrief aan een huwelijk

With 'This is what I say to you: Farewell letter to a marriage' Steffie Verstappen makes her thunderous debut in literature.

She is such a woman, you know her, who for a long time persists that she is doing it. Until she is confronted with an unexpected turn: the years of affair of her husband. It forces her to look honestly at the life she is in the middle of. She starts writing. To her, the secret mistress. In the midst of the inevitable everyday life of life with young children, she looks for herself as she thought she was meant. In this way she tries to write her life back to herself.

Close to the skin and with surprising lightness, Steffie Verstappen dissects the collapse of a marriage. 'This is what I tell you' is an intimate and penetrating report of love and things that pass by.
