However, Mevrouw mijn moeder is not a book for people who like wallowing in colonial nostalgia. The book is much more a description of an elderly lady growing very, very old, and all problems associated with living to such a high age, such as declining mental and physical health.
Mevrouw mijn moeder is largely very funny, because the mother appears as a somewhat tyrannical person, who insists to the very last to remain independent, and do as many things as possible by herself. The despair is often more with the (grown-up) children, than with the old lady herself.
Set against the colonial past of the Dutch East Indies, this just gives the book a different, other, dimension, and possibly, not many books of this kind have been written about this group of people, which is literally disappearing into the shrouds of history.
I liked this book much more than I had expected. This new edition came out in November 2022, when Mevrouw mijn moeder was selected for the National Reading Week, Nederland Leest. It was published with a foreword by Susan Smit.… (lisätietoja)
