«Gelukkige huisvrouw» is the novel by Heleen van Royen, published by Rainbow BV in paperback (356 pages, in Dutch).
Lea is, on the surface, a happy woman who has it all: an ambitious husband, a beautiful house and plenty of money in Aerdenhout. When her husband Harry decides he wants a child, the traumatic birth shatters her life and she ends up on the couch of psychiatrist Beau van Kooten, struggling to come to terms with her past.
It is Heleen van Royen's first novel. This edition belongs to the Rainbow Pockets collection, number 615.
For readers of Dutch fiction and contemporary fiction with a female protagonist.
Heleen van Royen is a Dutch novelist and columnist. Her novel De gelukkige huisvrouw was the best-selling Dutch novel of 2010. The candid descriptions of sexuality found in her books and her columns have drawn considerable attention, as have her personal revelations about sexual fantasies, even to the point of ridicule: Dorine Wiersma won the Annie M.G. Schmidt award for best theatrical song for "Stoute Heleen", a crude pastiche of van Royen's depictions of her own sexuality. Two of van Royen's novels were adapted for film, De gelukkige huisvrouw, and De ontsnapping. She has two children, daughter Olivia and son Sam. In November 2006, van Royen posed in the nude for Playboy.
