Originally published as Modelvliegen by Meulenhoff, Amsterdam, in 2000. Part fairy tale, part love story, an extended novella set in the 1960s about a family's dissolution as seen through the eyes of a perceptive twelve-year-old boy.

"Into its 120 pages, Möring folds a war memoir, a family psychodrama and a meditation on time and memory. It is a miracle of compression: everything is significant... one races through it, eager to discover the heart of the mystery." –The Guardian
