From an award-winning Dutch writer comes a heartbreaking and poetic book about a couple's lasting love and their commitment to living out their fantasy. Dutch couple Sarie and Barend Vervoort rejoice their retirement by buying a camper van and hitting the road. Their purpose is to drive around Europe, rewarding Sarie's wanderlust and time for a few of the places they journeyed along when they first attained, in 1968. But then Sarie falls really ill - diagnosed with level IV lung cancer tumor. The tragic discovery forces them to completely redefine their trip. Bravely, they hold on to what has bound them together right from the start: the desire to live rewarding lives, predicated on a great love. As Sarie chooses to squarely face what's coming, Barend shields her physically, psychologically, and mentally by permitting this previous, unbearably close trip as they retrace the entirety of their life - from its beginnings to its inescapable end. A novel of an extraordinary journey, Stage Four explores the stunning and unpleasant devotion that comes from love, sudden deliverance, and directing a life slowly and gradually slipping away.
