De hemel van Heivisj
South Limburg 1938. Fing’s dream has just been shattered. Instead of being allowed to study to become a schoolteacher, she has to work at the Sigarenkeizer. The work doesn’t amount to much: she becomes a babysitter for Liesl, the quaint little niece of her boss’s wife. But then the Second World War breaks out and Liesl is in great danger. The only person who can help her is Fing. When fate seems inevitable, Fing receives help from a miraculous source. Not from people but from a mining horse called Heivisj and an ancient lime tree. But will salvation arrive on time?
