Press on previous work:
A prodigy in hidden things. **** – NRC HANDELSBLAD
Dangre seems born to create moving portrayals of human passion. – TROUW
Dangre’s greatest trump card remains the musicality of his language. Nothing in this novel feels artificial, as if it was written at one sitting. There can be no doubt that Dangre will write many more beautiful things. – DE STANDAARD
