'One of the most important European authors of the second half of the twentieth century' Cees Nooteboom

A dark, disorienting classic wartime thriller from the author of An Untouched House

On the eve of the Second World War a public attorney, devastated because his Jewish lover has fled without him, runs over a young girl. He is torn by grief at the loss of his girlfriend and guilt about the accident - which is shrouded in a mystery that he attempts to unravel while the world around him collapses.

In the meantime, he is watched over by a guardian angel, who whispers him warnings, and by a devil, who does the same...

A Guardian Angel Recalls is a thrilling and provocative war novel, from one of the greatest Dutch authors of the twentieth century.
