Op de terugweg van een verblijf in Nieuw-Zeeland heeft het vliegtuig waarmee hij naar Nederland terug zal vliegen, een paar uur vertraging. De schrijver en tv-man Jacques Bekker zoekt een oude vlam op in Sydney, en daarmee begint een vreemd avontuur omdat hij precies op de dag langskomt dat zij wil verdwijnen. En daar kan Jacques goed bij helpen... Vertraging by the Dutch author Tim Krabbé features two parallel story lines on the same theme. The main character, Jacques, a Dutch TV personality, decides to make a quick visit to his high school love, Moniek, while he makes a stop-over in Australia. What was intended as an ultra-short visit, develops into a long adventure as he is dragged into an adventure of Moniek evading the police on charges of embezzlement. Loaded with money, they manage to keep ahead for several weeks, until a surprise which throws them back onto themselves. During their trip, Jacques thoughts wander to the years of their early friendship, and what transpires is that Moniek led him on, basically not much different from the way she leads him on in their current ordeal. Once, twice, three times a lady. The title, "Delay" in the English translation, refers to the prolonged stop-over, as well as the suggestion of a delay between the love of their youth and the present consummation of that love. Well-written, but rather conventional. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

On his way back to Amsterdam from New Zealand Jacques Bekker's plane is delayed and all of a sudden he has four hours to kill. Rather than go sightseeing in Sydney with his tiresome travelling companions, on a whim he decides to look up an old flame - his first teenage love. He arrives on her street, just as a very stylish woman is loading expensive luggage into the back of a smart car. Thirty years vanish in the blink of an eye and before Jacques knows it he's become an accomplice in a disappearing act that will soon be front page news. But by then Jacques and Monique will be well on the way to the heart of Australia and to the treacherous heart of their teenage past. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
