A decided to read this book after I heard the news that a movie based on it staring Jane Seymour will be filming next year. I read it only to better understand the movie, and was extremely surprised at what an excellent story I found it to be. It is told from the perspective of a little boy, about his struggles and triumphs, and the little things that help him cope with life in a concentration camp run by Japanese. If you think this is your typical "WW II survivor story", guess again. As I was reading I forgot the book was about a concentration camp. It became the story of a ordinary boy and his mother, and their day-to-day life amidst a horrific background. The harsh reality is it is a true story. I hope the movie does it justice. This book is extremely under-rated. It is up to par with Oprah's book club books. Please read it, and I think you will be surprised. If anyone knows how I can contact the author, please let me know.
This tour de force memoir is both an unblinking account of a child in Japanese Concentration camps (in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia), it is also poignant and even charming. Although the author experiences wrenching loss and brutality, his descriptive style and his observation of humanity is so spot-on that the reader survives the "worst" with him, and "survives" with him. The reader experiences the fragile hopefulness of the end of WWII with him as well. This is a great read for understanding how to survive trauma, a coming of age memoir, and a unique view of history.
When I was a very little girl, we lived in Indonesia and were in Japanese concentration camps during WWII.I was interested in reading this book, because my brother was taken away at 11 and sent to a men's camp all by himself. I wanted to know what he had gone through.This book will tell you a little of what we all went through in those years. It is written from a young boys view point and that was helpful to keep it less of a heavy read.I think very few people know how many of us suffered hunger and illness in POW camps under the Japanese. It is history and hopefully we won't have to re-live this.
A real account of Dutch citizens in Java (Indonesia when it was a Dutch colony) and the atrocities suffered by Dutch families who were forced into concentration camps by the Japenese.Not a master literary account but told in a simple straight forward manner. Its a tale written by someone that lived through this period and survived. It is a memoir to many who survived and the not so fortunate who perished.
The narrator tells the story through the eyes of the boy he was. This is more than another concentration camp setting and more than a coming of age story. This person is touched by forces of which he has no knowledge. I yearn to know the afterword. What his life evolved into and how his experiences shaped him as an adult. This book is well worth reading.
The story is beyond an ugliness of human nature.How any one dare to challenge "How about Hiroshima ?" The boy is above all these and almost religius. The Japanese Emperor and the Governmentaologized for the undue cruelities inflickted on the internees, but the most interesting thing is that they did no do so to their own people who were victims themselves under the Japanese Military systems.
