UNFORTUNATELY, I did not find this book was for me. But what is not my taste may be yours.

Maya de Jong, at the age of 18, left her home in the country to live in the city.

She began an affair with her boss, and one day, on arriving at the office and realising he wasn’t there, decided to try to find him.

Maya’s parents, Toni and Jacob, were coming to stay with her and when they arrived to find her missing they decided to search for her.

As they search the city, their own dreams, betrayals and doubts are thrown up at them.

All these things added up to their own ideals of life and it was, to them, a means of finding Maya.
