Eternal Fair
Eternal Fair (original title: Eeuwige Kermis) is a literary novel published in Dutch by De Geus Publishing.
After an odyssey of seven years, documenting the world, Julia Hollander returns to the Dutch low lands of her youth, where she confronts a double surprise: Her young father is terminally ill and the safe haven of her childhood is being transformed into a touristic farce.
When Julia learns she is responsible for her village’s demise, she is determined to set things right. With the help of a junkman rebel and a trio of witty elders, she attempts to scare off the commercial developers and rescue what she holds dear.
Eternal Fair is a high-spirited novel about authenticity in our hasty world and spotlights euthanasia. How do you recognize the right moment to fight or die?
