In her interviews, Sonja Barend always very sincerely put other people first. She appeared sincerely in others, while she herself remained totally modest and natural. The same happens in her autobiography. Reading Je ziet mij nooit meer terug we learn a lot about Sonja Barend, her youth, her education and her early career, especially also before her work in the media, but autobiographical detail about herself almost always appears after writing about others.
