Jan van Mersbergen
De onverwachte rijkdom van Altena
Frank and Marlies live with their handicapped son in a typical village in the Dutch polder. One day they meet a Japanese gentleman who gives them the key to a fortune: there is a treasure in the local lake.
After her initial excitement and happiness fades, Marlies struggles with the question of how to make the most of their wealth and who can share in it.
Van Mersbergen’s 12th book is a modern parable about solidarity and an ode to the sense of belonging in the countryside.
