A NEW DUTCH NOVEL TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH
ANGEL
Many people have plenty of reasons to run away but very few actually do it. Well in Angel by Arnold Jansen op de Haar, this is exactly what happens. Angel is translated from the Dutch by the author's sister Bernadette Jansen op de Haar.

Tijmen Klein Gildekamp is a jobbing writer living in a small provincial town. His world is lonely and stifling. When all seems lost, Angel comes to the rescue, but is she too late? They make an interesting pair: she the masseuse by day and singer by night, and he the committed writer of literature.

A surprise lottery win enables them to escape their dreary and oppressive everyday existence. During their flight they experience a number of momentous incidents in Spain and London, including an unfortunate incident in the royal box at the Opera House, only to end up on a remote Scottish Island.

NEW BOOK ON WORLD WAR II IN THE DUTCH EAST INDIES

SURVIVAL UNDER THE RISING SUN

An eyewitness account by Lily Beunk-Niemoller

The book describes the author's happy youth in the Dutch colony, shattered by the Japanese occupation which she spent in the concentration camps between the ages of 15 and 19 years old. After the capitulation by the Japanese she was almost murdered during the Bersiap uprising for independence by the natives. In 1946 she repatriated to Holland on her own where she caught up with her lost adolescence and resumed her studies. In 1956 she settled in the U.S.A. The book also briefly covers both history and the colonial life style of the Dutch East Indies.

The book, written in English, aims to bring more awareness of a unique part of World War II history which is largely unknown outside Holland. It may be of special interest to descendants of former victims of the Japanese camps.

Specifications: softcover, 176 pages, 33 illustrations (6 in color). Price is $20 plus S&H ($4 for US addresses). To order, or to obtain further information, email to: SurvivalRisingSun@msn.com.
