Coenraad Walters resenseer Bo is dit stil deur Gerbrand Bakker en vertaal deur Daniel Hugo

by Maggie Marx on Sep 3rd, 2013

Bo is dit stilUitspraak: wortel

Met die openingsin van Anna Karenina vang Tolstoi ’n ou waarheid vas: Alle gelukkige gesinne is eenders; elke ongelukkige gesin is ongelukkig op ’n unieke manier.

In Boven is het stil, Gerbrand Bakker se debuutroman (2006), verneem die leser waarom die Van Wonderen-gesin ongelukkig is.

Die eerstepersoonsverteller is Helmer, wat saam met sy identiese tweelingbroer, Henk, en hul ouers op ’n plasie in Noord-Nederland gewoon het. Hul belangrikste produk was melk. Al was Henk die jongste, sou hy duidelik saam met sy pa verder boer.
