AUTHOR

‘I don’t like pronouncements like “The dividing line between truth and illusion is wafer-thin,” or “There is no such thing as good and evil”. Good and evil do exist, and madness crosses into an often horrifying and painful no man’s land. But I also understand that people are confused; I am confused myself and all I am trying to do is to investigate how many different ways there are to make us feel so.’

TRANSLATOR

‘Craving is raw and intriguing, a tale of unsatisfied needs and desires and complicated familial relationships. The language is fresh and naturalistic, which made the book a joy to translate. As harrowing as Coco’s story is, it will ring true with readers who, too, crave love, food, sex or escape.’

PUBLISHER

‘Gerritsen confronts you with the human incapacity to truly communicate and understand each other. Her characters are driven by irrational and at times destructive forces and desires. They stay with you long after you have finished reading. Her work belongs to the best writing The Netherlands has to offer.’
