About this product

Yvonne Keuls celebrates her ninetieth birthday with a masterful new novel: Gemmetje Victoria.

An important story still had to be told: the heartbreaking story of Gemmetje Victoria. Yvonne Keuls met Gemmetje in the shelter where she volunteered and Gemmetje came in screaming. accompanied by a pile of reports that described her life in a few words. This is also how you get a child. Often screaming too, without reports to go with it, without comments, but with hope for a future.' Yvonne Keuls took care of her, looked after her, was there for Gemmetje until her death.

With great humor, Keuls describes how Gemmetje was surrounded by people who loved her for who she was and who she could have become.
