Augen zu und durch

Sometimes funny, sometimes sad - always touching:

The tragicomic novel "Eyes Closed and Go" tells a heartfelt story about the lovable outsider Herman and the rollercoaster called life.

Herman van Dusselen is 32 and "a bit different" - at least that's what the people around him say. He prefers to keep to himself and stay safe at home. As long as he can thoroughly clean and play with his marbles and marble runs, everything is fine. Herman avoids thinking about the past as much as he can. However, when the endearing outsider receives a free ticket to the nearby amusement park, he makes a fateful decision: Herman ventures out into life. And there, he encounters not only unprecedented challenges but also the extravagant cotton candy seller Jeanette...

With her bittersweet debut novel, Dutch author Nancy Olthoff has created a touching story about grief, hope, and the happiness found in small moments.

A charming novel about a new beginning for readers of Mathijs Deens' "Among the People.".
