Reinolda de Bruin is a speaker at funerals: she is permitted to tell about the extraordinary life of the deceased. Stories that deal with consequential choices, unfulfilled expectations, pain and disappointment. But regularly the life stories are also full of romance, conviviality and happiness. And at least as often it is a combination of all of that.
For this book, Reinolda de Bruin selected the most extraordinary stories she has encountered over the years and that left an unforgettable impression on her. She takes you along to those intimate moments behind closed front doors. Let yourself be carried along by those honest life stories: moving, courageous, painful, loving and sincere.
