I am trying to reach your website to buy your book. I was also in Tjideng, Karees and Kampong Makassar as a child.
I want the book if it is English for my American born wife to read.
Regards Evert
I just found your site through an ad on the back of BC Book World.
My husband was in Tjideng as a child. He rarely talks about it, his oldest sister is obsessed with the memories. I’d love to read it. Do I understand the book is available in English and in Dutch? Will explore the site now. Thanks.
Hi Ieneke, Thanks for your comment . The book is written in English, though it includes ( of necessity) a glossary of foreign words ( Afrikaans, Dutch, Malay, Japanese) this reflects the life we lead. I have the book in stock and can mail a copy if desired. You can also purchase it via Amazon.com or Trafford.com.
I will read a short extract from it at the upcoming White Rock commemoration of the August 15, 1945, cease fire. The reading iwll be short because of the keenness with which participants are looking forward to a rijst tafel. Boudewyn
PS of course this was prompted by Japanese capitulation day – which, although they never talked about it, was always a big day for my father and his sisters.
Good day Boudewyn, I would like to send you a prepayment for your book “Tjideng Reunion”. I first became aware of your writing through your letter to the editor in a recent Globe and Mail. Please forward me your mailing address.
Thank you, Phil
