Indische menschen in Holland: Oorspronkelijke roman
About This Book
A Dutch family who returned from the Indies struggles to adapt to life in a chilly new neighborhood of The Hague after the father's retirement, facing dwindling finances, domestic decline, and pervasive nostalgia for tropical home. The narrative follows the head of household and his wife as they cope with reduced circumstances, the children's schooling and social prejudice, and the father's reluctant social rituals with former comrades. Themes include displacement, intergenerational difference, and the daily realities of reintegration into metropolitan life.
