To nejlepší, co máme – Beecková de Griet Op (2019)

A sensitive novel about a midlife crisis, shadows of the past, self-discovery, and finding others. Lucas is at the end of his rope. In his career as a judge, he has failed to fulfill his youthful ideals, is suffocated by a long-term marriage, and is haunted by his own past. One day, in the middle of a court hearing, he gathers himself and runs away — from the courthouse, from his life so far. Without knowing exactly what he is looking for, he stops on the suicide bridge... Thanks to this event, his life takes a new direction. In voluntary isolation from both his private and work life, Lucas tries to decipher long-buried experiences and feelings that continue to traumatize and influence him. The Best We Have is the first part of a planned trilogy in which Griet Op de Beeck delves into sensitive personal topics. In three novels, she aims to give space to three different perspectives on the same theme. Because some things are simply hard to explain.
