The Man of the Marquise

The conflict between fathers and children is as old as the world and has been described in many books.
However, it turns out that here too, a new word can be said. Jan Weiler convincingly proves this by telling the story... of Kim and her father — Ronald Papen, whom she knew for the first fifteen years of her life only through an old, blurry photograph in the family album.
Did she want to meet him? Probably not — after all, she knew nothing about him.
Was she happy when her mother sent her to her father as a punishment? Probably not either. And who is happy about punishment?
And finally, could she have imagined that meeting this strange man, probably the most unsuccessful awnings-and-marquises dealer in the world, would become a significant event in her life? In fact, it would turn her life one hundred and eighty degrees upside down.
