Manon Uphoff
First published 2018
Sanne · Loved it · 5/5
Zo knap hoe Uphoff de voor een kind onbegrijpelijke donkerte van misbruik beeldend en ongrijpbaar neerzet. En het Haringenlied in de besneeuwde openingsscenes is geestig. Sander Kollaards Uit het leven van een hond was sympathiek maar Uphoff en niet hij had in 2020 de Libris Literatuur Prijs moeten winnen.
