«Een mooie jonge vrouw» is the novel by Tommy Wieringa, published by CPNB in hardback (96 pages, in Dutch).
A brilliant microbiologist meets a young, beautiful woman, whom he sees as a victory over time. Their marriage clashes between her idealism and his realism; she considers him lacking in empathy. Losing control, the protagonist learns the meaning of pain; can one understand another's suffering without having felt it?
It is the Boekenweekgeschenk 2014, the gift book of the Dutch Boekenweek, published by the Stichting Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek.
Will appeal to readers of contemporary Dutch literature and to those seeking short stories about marriage, empathy, and aging.
