The Discovery of Heaven begins with the meeting of Onno and Max, two complicated individuals whom fate has mysteriously and magically brought together. They share responsibility for the birth of a remarkable and radiant boy who embarks on a mandated quest that takes the reader all over Europe and to the land where all such quests begin and end. Abounding in philosophical, psychological and theological inquiries – yet laced with humour that is as infectious as it is wilful – The Discovery of Heaven convinces us that it just might be possible to bring order into the chaos of the world through a story.
