Synopsis

Dan and Carmen are hip, healthy and wealthy. They have their own companies, plenty of money and friends and are the proud parents of one year-old Luna . . . They live the cool life in Amsterdam, until beautiful and optimistic Carmen is diagnosed with breast cancer. With that their world transforms into a roller-coaster ride of doctors and hospitals. As his way of coping, the hedonistic Dan faithfully accompanies Carmen to her chemo and radiotherapy treatments, but spends his nocturnal hours crazily immersed in the nightlife and women of Amsterdam and Miami.

Love Life is the account of a relationship and a terminal illness, devoid of fake sentiment and told with humour and deep humanity.

And it is very much an ode to love.

'A wonderful novel about courage, helplessness and real love' Cosmopolitan Germany
