Cecilia's World

Because of her father's job at a major bank, Cecilia and her family have been moving many times. Now, a few months before her seventeenth birthday, she once again finds herself in a completely new environment, an apartment on the eleventh floor, overlooking the big city.

On her first day in her new school Cecilia meets her music theory teacher Johan. He and her other new friends gradually initiate the girl into the widespread world of alternative music, in which she starts to feel at home. But as times are troubled and political games are being played, she and her loved ones have to learn to make important choices.

'Cecilia's World' is a novel about alternative music, with many bands and styles being mentioned, explaining an important part of music history. However, this coming-of-age novel is also about the world we live in, about fear and - perhaps most important - about love.

"Writing down the emotions we have about music, that's magic. Serge Timmers is a magician." - Stratosphere

"It's an honour for Telepathy to be featured in Serge Timmers' novel and we have great memories of the concert that this scene is based on." - Telepathy

"Cecilias world` is a witty, intelligent and captivating book that leads us into the world of alternative music and beyond. I`m very pleased as well to read a small chapter dedicated to Ashtoreth and the house shows I'm organizing. A true page turner!" - Ashtoreth
