Annotation
Description Born into a family of business people, I started the Dutch publishing company Film Agenda, then became a successful entrepreneur in real estate development. Later, facing rough times from a divorce and almost going bankrupt, I began to understand there is more to life than what money can buy. I realized that, particularly in a crisis, a connection with people who love and care is essential. In this fresh new mindset, I wrote my first novel, Cats of Amsterdam, based on my life. I have tried to recreate events, locales and conversations from my memories of them.We are social animals that need each other. We need warmth, love, and affection, and loneliness is perhaps the greatest punishment of anyone on Earth. It is easy to say that money does not make you happy. That is an age-old motto and why we remain fascinated by characters who question the pursuit of riches above all. Money is necessary, and abundance is wonderful, but when we go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning, life is about something much warmer and enduring, and that is love.
