Today's book is the wonderful book Hendek by Dutch author Herman Koch. It was a book that I was so happy to read that I don't know where to start. There is a narrative in the work that has a main subject but progresses in leaps around this subject. I don't know if you like reading books in this style, but that's exactly why Hendek made me so happy.
Amsterdam mayor Robert Walter attends the New Year's reception with his wife Sylvia. Here, he witnesses a conversation between his wife and one of the municipal council members from afar. And when he sees Sylvia laughing, his heart sinks. The president begins to think that he has been deceived. While he tries to deal with this obsessively, he is shaken by the news given by his 94-year-old father. His parents will end their lives without needing people and without bothering anyone with their health problems. Not only that, the surprises waiting for Robert and his interview with a journalist and the journalist's claim turn the mayor upside down. Robert begins to not trust the love of his life and cannot understand his family. Hendek is shaped by pollution in Amsterdam, politics, commercial deals, cheap thefts and more.
The most important element of the book is to keep the element of curiosity alive. In fact, I think this is what the author wants to do. That's why Hendek is not one of those books that ends when you close the cover of the book. There is always a detail, always a feeling of wonder, that haunts your mind. Jealousy, marriage, insecurity and fear appear everywhere. Throughout the pages, you experience the doubt that Robert experiences with him. You are trying to understand and make sense of where 30 years of marriage is going. The limits of imagination are being pushed, the expectations are endless in the book. I definitely recommend those who like reading like this to get acquainted with the book...
