LOVE OR LUST II (according to Fergus) by Tjitze De Jong (English) Paperback Book

Description: LOVE OR LUST II (according to Fergus) by Tjitze De Jong In his mid-twenties, the stoic and down to earth Fergus battles with sheep and snow and split loyalties. Sexual awakening heals him, confuses him and tears him apart. Does he have a choice in the unfolding of his life or is there no choice other than to follow fate? Does he put his fate in the hands of Charlotte, thirty years his senior and from a totally different social and cultural background? Opposing worlds meet, attract and repel. Will financial and sexual benefits outweigh his emotional and mental challenges? The reader gains clear insights into the psyche of a young, single farmer with all his inner conflicts about conforming to or rebelling against the tradition of generations. This novel is the second of a trilogy. The other two are called: LOVE OR LUST I (according to Charlotte) LOVE OR LUST III (according to Rhanna) Their styles differ considerably, because each novel is written in the first person from the perspective of the character mentioned in the title. This creates variation for the reader and puts the main characters in three totally different frames of reference.. A fascinating concept. What all three have in common is a Dutch frankness and openness in their style of writing, which makes personalities very palpable and recognisable. Readers easily follow how the characters psychological and mental musings shape physical actions and longings, especially sexual longings. The books may well become bedside companions for women whose dreams and desires are as yet unfulfilled and for men who are still searching for the relationship of their fantasies. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography As soon as I was able to read, which was at a pretty early age, I devoured books and at nineteen I landed myself in paradise by becoming employed in a bookshop. Inspired by meeting authors, I picked up pen and paper and experimented, writing in my mother tongue, the ancient Frisian language. A newspaper published some poetry, twice I won the Rely Jorritsma award for short stories and for a students magazine (De Harpe published by the Students Society Bernlef in the city of Groningen) I started to write book reviews and co-organised many evenings with renowned authors. All of the above resulted in an invitation to join in co-editing the literature magazine Hjir. Gradually more publications followed, including a novel: PIZZAS OF BOEREMOES (Koperative Utjowerij, Boalsert, FR, 1988), ISBN 90-6570-197-4. In the meantime I had left the world of book trading behind in the knowledge, that I could surround myself with books and literature by other means and in 1989 life changed drastically: I graduated as Social Worker and emigrated to the spiritual community of Findhorn, Scotland. Involvement with people took over from books and literature. Two full decades later, during the winter of 2009-2010 a friend wished to explore her creativity through writing and I volunteered to help her along the way, set up a schedule for a novel: 12 chapters, characters and their development, geographical location and we started writing. Circumstances changed and I ended up finishing the novel myself within three months. The well of creativity had been awakened once more with two big differences: Pen, paper and type-writer have been replaced by laptop, memory sticks and the like. I am much more deeply affected by my characters and their predicaments up to the point that I find myself sobbing in front of the screen at times, simultaneously enriching the written material. LOVE OR LUST I (according to Charlotte) was born. Two months after completing the novel I knew the story was not finished as yet. Just before Christmas 2010, whilst performing cancer treatments in Wales, book three finished under showers of tears. Its main character rose straight from my heart and soul.
