'In a certain sense, nothing had changed - two men in a house and a
half-century passing without a ripple - but seen with the light
from a different angle, none of it had remained the same.' What is
the purpose of a man? Living in a disused farmhouse with his
elderly father, Paul Kruzen is not sure he knows anymore. The mill
his grandfather toiled in is closed, the glory of the Great Wars is
long past, and it has been many years since his mother escaped in
the arms of a Russian pilot, never once looking back. What do they
have to look forward to now? Saint Rita, the patron saint of lost
causes, watches over Paul and his best friend Horseradish Hedwig,
two misfits at odds with the modern world, while Paul takes comfort
in his own Blessed Rita, a prostitute from Quezon. But even she
cannot protect them from the tragedy that is about to unfold. In
this darkly funny novel about life on the margins of society, Dutch
sensation Tommy Wieringa asks what happens to those left behind.
