Samenvatting

Two young people, of different social backgrounds, who both had a difficult childhood during WW2,, struggle to make their marriage work. Sylvia, a laboratory assistant, is an up middle-class, religious, young girl who rebels against her abusing father. Her father, Adolfo Echevarria, a middle class artisan who believes his daughter would become a Spanish Countess when General Franco would be out of power, brainwashes his daughter about this tale, Sylvia do not believe. Sylvia struggles to find her identity as she live in a sordid building with her father who sexually abuses her and a mean stepmother. Sylvia needs to escape from her father and rebels by marrying Philippe who is the typical Parisian labourer who speaks slung and cannot hold a job. Philippe is full of anger from unresolved feelings from his childhood. He drinks heavily and become frustrated by his wife social and religious upbringing. She loves Philippe and believes that with love and patience she could change him to be a softer man. Being too proud, she refuses to show her misery to her three children and family, and struggles by herself to keep her marriage safe for the sake of her children. After many painful experiences and a trip to America, Philippe promises Sylvia to change when he decides that they immigrate to Australia. A devastated Sylvia wonder if leaving her country, family and friends is worth it and she would ever find the truth about whom she really is.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
