Bonita Avenue : a novel

-- The Times ( Siem Sigerius is a beloved, brilliant professor of mathematics with a promising future in politics. His family--including a loving wife, two gorgeous, intelligent stepdaughters and a successful future son-in-law--and carefully appointed home in the bucolic countryside complete the portrait of a comfortable, morally upright household. But there are elements of Siem's past that threaten to upend the peace and stability that he has achieved, and when he stumbles upon a deception that's painfully close to home, things begin to fall apart. A cataclysmic explosion in a fireworks factory, the advent of internet pornography, and the reappearances of a discarded, dangerous son all play a terrible role in the spectacular fragmentation of the Sigerius clan. A riveting portrait of a family in crisis and the ways that even the smallest twists of fate can forever change our lives, Bonita Avenue From the Hardcover edition.

  • "Was, wenn die eigenen Kinder sich gegen einen wenden? Joni Sigerius, Stieftochter eines angesehenen Mathematikers und Rektors einer holländischen Universität, hat zusammen mit ihrem Freund Aaron ein Unternehmen aufgezogen, das sie vor anderen lieber geheim halten will. Als es auffliegt, fliegt in der Stadt Enschede, in der die Familie lebt, auch eine Feuerwerksfabrik in die Luft. Für Siem Sigerius, den Stiefvater, schlägt das plötzliche Wissen ein wie eine Bombe, erschüttert den Boden, auf dem er vermeintlich mit beiden Beinen steht. Da im Sommer desselben Jahres auch noch sein Sohn aus der Haft entlassen wird, bleibt in der Familie kein Stein mehr auf dem anderen, denn: Ist Nähe ein Garant dafür, dass man einander auch vertraut? ‹Bonita Avenue› - benannt nach einer Straße in Kalifornien, wo die Familie in früheren Jahren glücklich lebte - ist ein mitreißender, reich nuancierter, kraftvoll-bildhafter Roman über das Auseinanderbrechen einer Patchwork-Familie, über einen Vater, dessen Kinder die Erwartungen, die er an sie stellt, durchkreuzen, über Familiengeheimnisse, Wahrheit und Lüge, Schein und Sein."

  • "A darkly hilarious tale of a model family's disintegration. Professor Siem Sigerius - maths genius, jazz lover, judo champion, Renaissance man. When Aaron meets his girlfriend Joni's family for the first time, her multitalented father could hardly be a more intimidating figure, but somehow the underachieving photographer manages to bluff his way to a friendship with the paterfamilias. With his feet under the table at the beautiful Sigerius farmhouse, Aaron feels part of the family. A perfect family. Until, that is, things start to go wrong in a very big wa."@en
