A run-down hotel on a bare plain: the only hiding place for a girl in the rain. Once inside, a fox offers her a chair. A suspicious rat acts like he has met her before. But she can't remember anything. Not even her own name.... At the hotel she finds more questions than answers. She hears piano music, but can't find the piano. And what about the pieces of paper flying around the plain? While she tries to mend these pieces together, the pieces in her mind start to come together as well. And then she remembers the question she really wants to be answered.
DEPARTURE TIME is an amazing journey of a girl in two stories. There is the girl in the hotel with the fox and the rat. And there is the girl with a father who travels a lot and who suggests to write a story together. A story about talking animals. But she doesn't want to. She is angry with him, because he can't make her birthday in time. Again. The two stories slowly start to intertwine and come together in a surprising ending.

Departure Time
Een heel mooi boek over rouwverwerking.
=============================
I had never heard of this book or even the author, but the story sounded intriguing, I loved the cover, and the publisher is reputable, so I decided to take a chance. And I am glad that I did.
Vertrektijd (translated into English as Departure Time) is about an 11-year-old girl who is trying to come to terms with the death of her father, and her own feelings of guilt surrounding his death.
In alternating chapters, two stories are told. The first is dreamlike, magic realist. The second one is realistic. Each story echoes elements of the other, and it soon becomes clear they are actually one.
I found it very beautifully done, and perhaps even a tad demanding of the intended age group (young teens).
