About this book
The year is 2047. The sea is 68 centimetres higher than in 2000, and on a September Tuesday a dyke gives way near Dordrecht. Sander Vos is away in Berlin for work; his wife Mara and their children, Lotte and Tim, are home when the water comes.
Told in three shifting phases — Sander alone, then Mara and the children, then the family reunited — this eighteen-part B1 saga follows one household’s slow, human-scale fight to find each other again in a flooding country.
Written at B1 (intermediate): you can follow the main points of clear texts and express opinions on familiar subjects. Not sure about your level?
