When Pax, a middle-aged second-rate actor, scores an audition for a blockbuster, he is convinced fate has taken pity on him and he will finally get to spend some time in the limelight.
He leaves his flat in a hurry, ignoring the alarming sounds coming from the apartment above. He is beside himself when he learns what devastating consequences his decision had: not only was his neighbour Alex assaulted and left for dead, he is also his girlfriend Emi's son . . .
Before long, Pax is faced with an impossible choice: should he continue to deceive Emi, the one person who always believed in him, or tell the truth and destroy their relationship?

Critics Review
A rare pearl. Each word is chosen with care, each page has us confront our own inconsistencies and question our idea of humanity.
An intense and powerful novel. The characters in this book are no angels. Nothing shows this better than the fact that they resemble us.
Immerse yourself in the meanders of the human mind, its sense of guilt and everything else that contributes to human weakness . . . You have to keep reading until the last page, the last word, the very last full stop. It’s unputdownable.
A novel that will have you delve into the intimacy of its characters’ flawed lives.
An emotionally strong novel
