Book Trailer: Breakwater

Marijke Schermer's novel Breakwater, due out in the beginning of April 2023 Some secrets refuse to stay buried … Emilia has it all: a rewarding career as a statistician, a wonderful husband, and two healthy young sons. Having escaped Amsterdam for a life in the countryside, she and Bruch pass their time performing endless jobs around the house. But when a brief moment of panic triggers the memory of a traumatic experience from twelve years before, Emilia finds herself floating away from her average existence. The secret she’s kept for so long refuses to stay hidden, and as Emilia’s grip on reality loosens, heavy rains begin to fall. In this critically acclaimed novel, Schermer explores the impact of sexual violence, and whether or not it’s possible to truly know another person. Breakwater is a haunting examination of memory and trauma, written in prose stunning in its frankness and precision. QUOTES “Powerful characters and dialogues abound in this poignant tale of love, autonomy and the devastating power of secrets.”- Ivo van Hove, Theatre Director “Breakwater is a book that hurts. The supreme happiness and blunt violation of it are placed side by side with great precision. Ineluctably, it advances toward a climax. Now I want to read this writer’s other work too.” —De Groene Amsterdammer “Her second novel starts in an exemplary and classical fashion in all senses. Schermer work reminds one of Ian McEwan’s. But with the ending she then mocks the classical form and norm. This is excellent literature.” —NRC “What Marijke Schermer does in Breakwater is incredible. The story—in language that streams and flows and hits home—gets increasingly oppressive.” —MARJON KOK Marijke Schermer leaves you out of breath and makes you revaluate your own most self-evident assumptions.
