Rasha Peper was a Dutch author who died early, aged 62, while most of her 18 books were published in the two decades between 1990 and 2014. With such a short career as a writer, her reknown already seems to be receding. However, during her lifetime her achievement as a literator was obvious in the form of several very successful novels.

Oesters is about the daring theme of love between a younger woman for an older man. To the dismay of her parents, the 20-year old Olga falls in love with a man who is 20 years older than she. The novel describes their love and how she is finally won over by a younger man. ( )
