Omschrijving
‘The evening the men came I fled through the garden gate…’
The Netherlands, World War II
When the Nazis invade the Netherlands in May 1940 it's clear that life is changing for the girl and her family.
The family’s incorrigible optimism enhances the nightmarish effect of this impressive little book. Moving and memorable.
The simplicity and complete naiveté of Marga Minco’s account sharpen the impression it makes.
Marga Minco (1920-2023) debuted with Bitter Herbs (1957), which was followed by other famous works such as The Fall (1983) and An Empty House (1967). She won the Vijverberg prize (1957), the Annie Romein Prize (1999), the Constantijn Huygen Prize (2005) and the P.C. Hooft Prize (2019) for her entire oeuvre.
