Review title: A brilliant book, very touching and well-written
Product review: I found " A Father's Affair" by chance at a used bookstore( ironically in Amsterdam, the city in which the main subject in the book lives). Of course I'm so glad that I came across this novel. I was immediately absorbed, right from the first page. Emotionally charged, full of twists and nostalgia, van Loon succeeds in telling the story of a man and his " son" without being the least bit ordinary. His style and manner of telling the story through the protagonist is all his own. There is a touch of dry humor, which coupled with the interwoven present time/flashback sequences, makes this a very compelling and unique novel. This is not a classic, but it was a good read and I'd recommend it to anyone. There is a reason it was an international bestseller.
