Willem of the Tafel is an epic tale of survival, second chances, hope and undying love.
HERE IS MY REVIEW OF WILLEM OF THE TAFEL:
OH MY YES, THIS QUOTE IS PERFECT! HERE IS MY REVIEW:
This is a beautiful story of hope, survival, and it also contains the lesson to be careful who you discount as being weak, for they just might end up being the strongest out of everyone.
Hans Hirschi give us not only a book here, but a glimpse into a future world where everything we know has been destroyed. We meet a tribe of a few hundred people who survive inside a mountain, and have for centuries, having gone underground when the world descended into chaos.
Willem is the lone surviving Ghost of the Tafel, which makes him a target of prejudice and ridicule for the paleness of his skin, though Willem survives by doing his job as a botanist and staying out of the way. When an accident happens and Willem is blamed he is exiled to the world above to face certain death.
I will not spoil this book for you, but what I can say is that Willem thrives and meets up with people who will change his life forever, mainly Hery, who is hearing impaired and could be the best thing to happen to Willem.
Will Willem risk his happiness and love to save the people that condemned him to certain death? This is a beautiful story friends, and you will fall in love with Willem in an instant just like I did! Thank you Hans for this brilliant work of art we will remember for years to come!

Hans M Hirschi has been writing stories ever since he was a child. Adulthood and the demands of corporate life efficiently put an end to his fictional writing for over twenty years.
A global executive in training and channel development, Hans has traveled the world and had previously published non-fictional titles.
The birth of his son and the subsequent parental leave provided him with the opportunity to unleash his creative writing once again. With little influence over his brain's creative workings, he indulges it, going with the flow.
A deeply rooted passion for, faith in a better world, in love, tolerance and diversity are a red thread throughout both his creative and non-fictional work. His novels might best be described as "literary romance, engaging characters and relevant stories that won't leave you untouched, but hopeful."
