Annus Horribilis

Alkmaar, May 1944. Fourteen-year-old Victor Stikvoort hid in the attic after his father told someone to go into hiding. A few days later, the Germans came to raid their house, but no one was found there, not even when they searched the attic. The question then remains: Was the family hiding someone in the house, or not? David Klaver (Alkmaar, 1970) began working on the novel after completing his training as an advertising designer and becoming a freelance illustrator for a regional newspaper. This novel is his debut.
