Sicilian vespers
A new novel on love and death, friendship and betrayal, bliss and dejection, the Sicilian Vespers tells more than you probably can stomach.
'... told as fast as a road movie...' De Telegraaf
'A masterpiece!' - Peter Loeb
'Sicilian Vespers' lets one understand again why educated people do read books: to see what life puts us through. A gripping novel.' - Herman Stevens
(For the whole piece see Herman Stevens - Uitgeverij Prometheus.)

Some press quotes
on

Murder & Manslaughter
'She calls him a monster, a master thief, a bully of the worst sort. He cannot stand her in an equally all pervading way. Yet brother and sister Meijsing wrote a novel together, and not an insignificant one! Murder & Manslaughter is the most bizzarre literary product of the past years. Doeschka and Geerten Meijsing are rivals in their craftmanship and confess openly their deadly rivalry in this amusingly provoking family chronicle about two mean characters.' KNACK

'This book demands to be read.' VRIJ NEDERLAND

'Do or don't they love each other, brother and sister? Throughout the novel the balance keeps shifting, from love to unmitigated hate and back. It remains a thrilling combat past the final point. Murder & Manslaughter is a unique, breath taking novel.' LEEUWARDER COURANT

'Winner is the reader who with this double novel brings back home the top of what the writing Netherlands have to offer.' DE LIMBURGER

'Reading the one after the other the two novels form a chemical compound. Brother and sister carry their point to the limit, to reach a truth that cannot be. Therewith they give a view into the depths of their childhood soul. The result is decidedly moving.' DE VOLKSKRANT

'Literature on its best, of an atrocious beauty, and of a seldomly shown, often tarnishing but at the same time heroic honesty.' ONS ERFDEEL

'Two souls that match, attract and repulse each another, that are loyal to each other, and at the same time full of hate and destruction: that is the gruesome subject that makes Murder & Manslaughter a breath taking novel.' DE GROENE AMSTERDAMMER

'Conclusion: experiment successfull!' HET PAROOL
