Recenzii

A masterly novel about the violence of colonialism, the war of decolonisation, the repatriation of the collaborators and the consequences all of this has had on the families of those involved
Birney mercilessly exposes a crucial part of Dutch history. This masterful novel will echo in the minds of its readers
What a great novel, its language and storytelling so light but also raw and lyrical. A tremendous writer. Read this book
A work of unbridled, incensed storytelling: an assault on the lazy assumptions of parochial, colonial history and a personal quest for redemption
