Praise for The Darkness that Divides Us
‘Just a remarkable book. Haunting characters, amazing voice, propulsive plot. I hope we see a lot more from Dorrestein. Count me among her fans’
KAREN JOY FOWLER
‘A stunning mixture of many genres. The criminal story provides popular, psychological, folkloric, parodic, and psychological hints of secret codes to solve the murder case’
American Book Review
‘An interesting study in how we intuitively know things aren’t right and how we cope with the lies and subsequent trauma; we are not so much in control of events, as we like to think we are’
The Bookseller
‘The plot holds tightly together, tempting the reader further to uncover the secrets hidden in later pages. Highly recommended’
Dutch News
‘What particularly appeals—and where her strength lies—is the drive that Dorrestein gives her characters. Their survival spirit and courage are unlimited, and their loneliness is therefore all the more tangible’
De Volkskrant
‘A stunning mix of many genres’
American Book Review
‘A beautifully written family drama, with a hint of mystery—the writing is darkly atmospheric with an intense construction that works well and hooks you right in’
Liz Loves Books
‘A complex and unusual story that, whilst heart-rending, is never sentimental. Thought-provoking and engaging: a recommended read’
Never Imitate
‘A painful adventure that requires courage. Dorrestein tells tough stories without embellishment; full of wry, shocking details about family suffering, about child abuse, rape, illness and death. That literature can produce such a physical reaction in the reader is a sign of Dorrestein’s strength’
Vrij Nederland
‘Dorrestein knows how to chill her readers with tragedy and then melt their hearts with forgiveness.’
SUSAN VREELAND
‘A real thriller, with a surprising reveal at the end’
De Tijd
‘Classic Dorrestein’
Spits
‘The Darkness that Divides Us is en epic tale about a girl fighting for a bit of individuality, free from her mother, free from her father, but above all free from “the group” that binds us. This is a book about ourselves’
De Limburger
