This fascinating novel follows the lives of the Van Lowe family. "The Twilight of the Souls" is the story of the brother of the family, Gerrit, as he slowly descended into madness. Excerpt from "The Twilight of the Souls" "When Gerrit woke that morning, his head felt misty and tired, as though weighed down by a mountain landscape, by a whole stack of mist-mountains that bore heavily upon his brain. His eyes remained closed; and, though he was waking, his nightmare still seemed to cast an after-shadow: a nightmare that he was being crushed by great rocky avalanches, which he felt pressing deep down inside his head, though he was conscious that the red daylight was already dawning through his closed eyelids."
