Description
The relationship between Coco and her mother is uneasy to say the least. When they run into each other by chance, Elisabeth casually tells Coco that she is terminally ill. As Coco moves in with her mother and takes care of her, aspects of their troubled relationship come to the fore once again. Elizabeth tries her best to conform to the image of a caring mother, but struggles to deal with Coco's erratic behaviour and unpredictable moods.

It is quite astounding to read and difficult to understand how a shitty piece of pulp fiction like this could be shortlisted for the biggest literary price in the Netherlands.
