The anglicized Dutch title of this short novel or novella suggests a melodrama which should perhaps not be taken entirely seriously. It is a bit of a satiric story about marital problems in which the narrator plays a double role, while Miepje comes out with a true-to-its time appearance. Quite humorous.

This Penta Pocket edition comes with several interviews and essay materials at the end which give more insight into the work, the author and his other work. ( )
