The story of this literary thriller is set against the background of the emigration of a Dutch couple in the 1960s. They set off for the other side of the world virtually unprepared, knowing little about life in Australia. Their first stop is the Bonegilla migrant camp, where they only stay a few weeks.

She moves to Amsterdam, away from her family, in an attempt to be free, but this proves difficult.Katja Bongers lives and works in Baarn (the Netherlands).
