De Bamboe Trilogie Reeks

Deze historische fictietrilogie neemt lezers mee naar Zuidoost-Azië tijdens de turbulente jaren van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De verhalen verweven de onderlinge lotgevallen van individuen met uiteenlopende achtergronden, die in het hart van het conflict worden geworpen. Elk deel kan onafhankelijk van elkaar worden gelezen, wat een flexibele en boeiende verkenning van een cruciaal tijdperk biedt. Het is een krachtige kijk op menselijk veerkracht en de blijvende geest te midden van wereldwijde omwentelingen.
