Deze winter

In the heart of winter, the festive season brings a mix of emotions that can clash harshly with expectations. Two writers, Alice Oseman and Niels van Eekelen, delve into the complexities surrounding Christmas, showcasing the tension that often lies beneath the surface of cheerful holiday celebrations. Through characters grappling with their feelings about the season, readers may relate to the struggles of joy versus despair.

With an intimate narrative, they explore themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery, challenging the notion that the holidays are universally joyful. It becomes clear that for some, wintertime is not just about festive cheer, but rather a time for reflection and emotional growth amidst the cold and often isolating months.
