Joe Speedboot

Nadat Fransje Hermans ends up in a wheelchair due to a bizarre accident, he seems doomed to spend his days in the slow village of Lomark. Due to the accident, he can no longer move or talk, and with only one functional arm, his life seems hopeless. That changes, however, when the charismatic and reckless newcomer Joe Speedboot arrives and forms an unlikely friendship with Fransje. Will it help Fransje to realize his passionate dreams, satisfy his desire for the enchanting PJ, or is he just another project of the adventure-craving Joe? ‘Joe Speedboot’ is the fourth novel by Tommy Wieringa and was released in 2005. This marked his breakthrough to the general public.
