Sinossi
In fondo alla strada c'era una casa. Non eravamo i primi ad andarci ad abitare o a darle un nome. Non sapevamo ancora niente di Nienevee di Fuori le Mura e di Sjar il Turacciolo. Ma se quel giorno il vento non fosse stato così forte, li avremmo potuti sentire dal profondo della terra sbatacchiare le ossa per mandarsi dei messaggi.

What a polished gem of a book! Lindelauf’s book was first published in 2004 in The Netherlands and Australian John Nieuwenhuizen succeeds as the invisible translator who brings this classic to us. It resonates with classic childrens fiction features such as the old, mystery house without a porch so Leggi tutto
It took me quite a while to get into this book, originally published in Dutch a decade ago. But once I got past the first 50 or so pages, the characters drew me in, and I read the rest of it at once. Set in Limburg in 1937, the story revolves around one family and its trials and tribulations. Since
Ach mensen, wat een prachtig boek. Vol verhalen, warmte, zorgen, liefde. En met heerlijk herkenbare Limburgse couleur locale
I read this in one sitting - the writing/translation is lyrical*, and I so wanted to find out what happened. And then I found out. And then I wished I hadn't stayed up so late. Meh. Good reading, blah ending. *It definitely felt like a non-American book.
Sterk geschreven jeugdverhaal over de bittere armoede in het interbellum. Een familie probeert van alles om hun kostje te verdienen. Veel aandacht voor onderlinge verhoudingen in het gezin en de schrijver heeft zich goed ingeleefd in wat spannend is voor kinderen.
Even nodig om er in te komen, maar leuke karakters en het verhaal komt aan het einde heel mooi samen.
