Go, not knowing where! : Bring, not knowing what ; The path is dangerous, the way unknown ; Russian fairy tale
This is Leonie van Daalen-Röell's own story of her aristocratic Dutch family of privilege, glamor and power. She arrived in Central Java not knowing that she was living on one of the last sugar plantations owned by her mother's family in Tjepiring, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) or that this would be the last ten years of the 300 year reign of the Dutch colony. This is not your normal memoire. It is written through the eyes of a young, bright, creative child whose life in a tropical paradise of Java suddenly breaks into pieces as the horror of war and uncertainty of life become her reality. vi, 356 pages : illustrations, maps, portraits ; 25 cm
