Het derde huwelijk

Maarten Seebregs is fifty-something, out of work after years as a lighting man and scout of film locations, gay and suffering from a deadly disease that is never named. Someone offers to pay him to wed Tamara, a young woman from Africa, so she can get papers; they will separate after six months and she will be free to settle in the European Union. There is one condition: share a home with her, but keep his hands off her. Through this unlikely pair the novel looks at Europe and Africa, and at what age, love and the body allow.
