Izar


An exceptional love story and a novel about the biggest questions in life.

Carlo never thought he would become a father. But when his girlfriend Lisette grows more miserable by the day due to her unfulfilled wish to become a mother, Carlo reluctantly agrees to have children. When she does not become pregnant, Lisette suggests seeking medical help. Check-ups, hormone treatments, artificial insemination… Every step along the way seems small and logical, but slowly, their entire life begins to revolve around having a baby.

After one miscarriage and one stillborn daughter, they decide to give it one last try.

In his autobiographical debut, Carlo Groot tells an exceptional story about love and fatherhood. His raw grief is tempered by humorous anecdotes and a healthy dose of irony.

Izar is an unforgettable novel about unexpected happiness and longing for something you never knew you wanted.
