Ludwig Volbeda
Nova
Kruissingel, 9712 XN GroningenFor everyone who appreciates a beautiful story.
Moving and Comforting
In Oever, Ludwig Volbeda tells the story of Jip, a teenager with a special fondness for insects, in a restrained manner. With a sparkling imagination, Jip navigates life in this Young Adult novel, which is about discovery, identity, and uncertainty - Jip's life is that of all teenagers. However, Oever is not just a novel for 14 to 18-year-olds, but for everyone who appreciates a beautiful story. Arthur Japin rightly calls Volbeda's tender debut moving and comforting.
