The day after his wedding, Tomas wakes up alone. His wife is nowhere to be seen. When he walks the dog, the streets are frighteningly empty. Strangely enough, people are crowding at the community center. There, it turns out that a change of unprecedented proportions has taken place on earth. A change that everyone had seen coming, except Tomas.

“An oeuvre that you could unequivocally call overwhelming.” – Het Parool
“Brilliant.” – NRC ★★★★★
“A book that makes us look at the human species differently while holding up a mirror.”
