O knihe

From the humble streets of Warfum, Holland, a young boy seeks solace on the age-old dike amidst the harsh realities of poverty. Inspired by true events, John's journey takes him from the windswept landscapes of post-war Europe to the sprawling orchards of a Canadian fruit farm, where he confronts the uncertainties of love and commitment. Set against the backdrop of two continents undergoing profound transformation, John van der Beek's debut novel is a poignant exploration of resilience, longing, and the enduring power of human connection. As John and the richly drawn characters he encounters navigate their own unique paths toward understanding and fulfillment, they illuminate the universal truths of love, loss, and the enduring quest for belonging. With vivid prose that transports readers across time and space, 'Klompen & Blisters' is an extraordinary tale inspired by true events, resonating long after the final page is turned. It is a testament to the ordinary yet remarkable moments that shape our lives and the indomitable spirit that propels us forward.
