Briefwisseling die loopt van de jaren 50 tot 2005 (de dood van August Willemsen). Mijn sympathie lag tijdens het lezen bij Marian, maar Guus schrijft wel heel bijzonder! Hij is verliefd op haar, zij niet op hem. De sfeer uit de jaren 50 en 60 blijkt heel mooi uit de eerste brieven en ook uit hun terugblikken later in het boek.

This book consists of a diary with additional comments by the grown-up Willemsen. I really liked to read about the development of his character over the years. Willemsen has terrific writing skills, by the way.
