Shelter Summary

Shelter by Sanneke van Hassel

Taken from the authors Dutch short story collection Nederzettigen, this trio of stories is follows various individuals trying to build an existence, who need to feel at home somewhere. Each character is displaced in a different way but, wherever they come from, all the characters have a conflicting longing for change and stability. In crystal clear language, Van Hassel tells three tales about restless times in a fragmented society.

About Sanneke van Hassel

Sanneke van Hassel writes and promotes short stories.
