Omschrijving
In this book Geert Mak returns to the small Frisian village of his childhood, Jorwert (pop. Jowert has more in common with an English village than with Amsterdam, and it's moving story of neighbours and their efforts to preserve their long established way of life is relevant to the changing face of the countryside everywhere in Europe.
Eloquent
Movingly relevant
Mak is good on the pulse of the village, its ebb and flow as people come and go, but running throughout the book is a genuine anger that this is a meritorious way of life we are too eager to dismiss
A big subject, neatly summarized, in which he also studies the changes in people's values that take place when they move to big cities, and the role now played by incomers in village life
Nowhere has the silent rural revolution been described more beautifully and with mroe feeling
