«Margje» is the novel by Dutch writer Jan Siebelink, published by De Bezige Bij in hardback (283 pages, in Dutch).
Ruben Sievez, now elderly, wanders through his uncle Anton's empty villa on New Year's Eve and recalls the day when, as a child, he found a photograph in the basement of his mother Margje with his uncle. That discovery and the rivalry with his brother Thomas colour his memories of love, the desire to be loved in return, and family tensions.
Margje was originally published in 2015 and continues the story of the Sievez family begun in «Knielen op een bed violen».
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in family dynamics and the weight of religion.
