‘This wry Belgian writer takes a sharp, very human look at how lives meander and collide. For all the serious issues it explores, it is also very funny and astute: a fearless exposé of the world we live in’

‘Thirty Days is a novel about goodness and compassion. The book finds the perfect balance between sensitivity and humor, hopefulness and criticism, cheer and despair’
