Monika is overleden en Armin is al een tijdje met Ellen en samen willen ze een kind. Dan blijkt Armin onvruchtbaar. Zijn wereld stort in, niets is meer wat het leek. Hij gaat (natuurlijk) op zoek naar de “echte” vader van Bo. Het is een hilarisch, erg geestig verhaal, goed geschreven, heel intens en indringend ook. Heel goed komt naar voren het onbegrip, de consequenties en de machteloosheid van deze ontdekking. Als blijkt dat Armin’s vader ook de vader van Bo is en hij in woede Bo ook nog verteld heeft dat hij zijn vader niet is.... Ellen sleept vader en zoon/broer door deze ellende heen. ( ) Children born from extramarital affairs are a much more common phenomenon that generally thought. Armin Minderhout, the main character in De passievrucht (English: A Father's Affair discovers by accident that his son, Bo, is not biologically his son. A fertility test shows that not his current wife, Ellen, but he is barren. By implication, Armin cannot be the father of his 13-year old son from his previous marriage to Monika. Bafflement is followed by anger, and wonder about relationships. In his search for the biological father of Bo, Armin goes over all Monika's friends and acquaintances to determine who could have impregnated her. This leads to some surprising developments. This book was like an emotional mystery. I kept making guesses in my own mind and by the time the answer was revealed, I was TOTALLY shocked, as I had not even suspected this result. The relationships between parents and children were very different from each other which made for interesting reading. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
