Two popular West Coast novels in one. In Haar naam is Ragel we meet Ragel, whose life is meaningless after the death of her toddler son. She meets another mother who cannot stop grieving. Together they learn to find meaning in suffering, and discover the solace to be found in God. In Marta, 17-year-old Marta promises her dying father that she’ll look after her mother. As the years pass, she falls into a numbing routine of mindless faith and good works. Will she be able to turn her life around?
