Praise for We & Me

‘The Great Flemish Novel is not dead. It has just been written by Saskia de Coster. We and Me is a novel that will haunt me for a long time. Excellent and unforgettable’

HERMAN KOCH, author of The Dinner

‘For years the most stubborn, capricious and attractive pen of Belgium’

TOM LANOYE

‘As sharp as a knife and with great psychological insight the author investigates the ‘we’ feeling versus the longing for freedom and individuality. Sarah is a contemporary Emma Bovary or Anna Karenina. We and Me is like a breath of fresh air, because of its content as well as its virtuous form and fluent, ironic style’

OPZIJ LITERATURE PRIZE

‘Tender and cruel, Saskia De Coster unravels the illusions of social climbers in a novel that shows that every unhappy family is still unhappy in its own way’

TOMMY WIERINGA, author of Joe Speedboat

‘The book provides a wonderfully witty narrative about family relationships that everyone will be able to relate to in some way: an incredibly accessible novel that is hugely entertaining’

Buzz Magazine

‘A literary Desperate Housewives’

Jera’s Jamboree

‘De Coster paints a devastating picture of the modern-day nuclear family, revealing how loneliness can be threaded through the most intimate relationships of all. A bold and daring book’

ANN MORGAN, A Year of Reading the World

‘De Coster is highly original in her use of language: her choice of words and repetition of sounds make every sentence a story in its own right’

De Volkskrant

‘De Coster is a writer capable of reaching extremes lying just outside the experience and perhaps even beyond the imagination of most readers’

Vrij Nederland

‘With We and Me, De Coster positions herself at the highest level of Dutch literature. Pure class’
