Five years after the events in Ventoux we meet the friends Bart, Joost, David and André again, now in their fifties. We are in Ferrara, where the Renaissance is still tangible. All four are looking for a new perspective in their lives. But life is not going to be uncomplicated in Ferrara either. Bart’s daughter Anna makes a decision that he is not pleased with (complication 1), a ‘padellone’ in the Po Delta turns out to be more than just an old fishermen’s hut (complication 2), and immortality stays an illusion (complication 3).

A novel about loyalty, fate, humour as a lifeline and the unbreakable bond between father and daughter.
