De kroon met twee pieken

The novel surveys the life of Werner Vrysoone: a local-government official, married twice, widowed, now living with someone new, and devoted to early Fleetwood Mac. He has two daughters, only one of them his by blood, and their clashing characters and painful histories set the girls against each other. Werner, a well-meaning man who mostly lets life happen to him, tries to treat both fairly and stay close to them. Switching between viewpoints, styles and periods, the story sets these private lives against the larger history around them.
