An Island In Time

In this book Geert Mak returns to the small Frisian village of his childhood, Jorwert (pop. 330 and falling). It`s a typical European village where the shops are closing down, the few children left will escape to a less arduous life in the city and it`s becoming increasingly isolated. Jowert has more in common with an English village than with Amsterdam, and it`s moving story of neighbours and their efforts to preserve their long established way of life is relevant to the changing face of the countryside everywhere in Europe.
