De aparte schrijfstijl komt mij aanstellerig over. Waarom Couperus geen normale zinsbouw gebruikt is mij anders een raadsel. Toch is het een goed boek.

Sleutel tot deze roman is de vermelding dat grootmama ooit een grande-coquette was, een luxe-hoer. Couperus beschrijft hier de dubbele moraal van de burgerij op het einde van de lange negentiende eeuw.

Het is echter ook de periode dat de vrouwen beginnen op te komen voor hun rechten en vrijheden. Denk maar aan de suffragettes. De mannen daarentegen beschouwen de echtgenotes nog als heiligenhuisjes en zoeken hun pleziertjes buitenshuis of vallen de huismeiden lastig.

De door Couperus geuite bedenkingen over het huwelijk aan de hand van een aantal personages hoort bij de hele sfeer die er heerst in deze verdwijnende wereld en de tegenstrijdige levenswijzen. Couperus die volgens zijn biografie waarschijnlijk homo was en toch gehuwd zal zeker zelf met dezelfde vragen over de zin van het huwelijk hebben geworsteld. ( )

Couperus is an important Dutch author, and this book is a Dutch classic. It features a large Dutch family with elders who had previously lived in the Dutch East Indies. The matriarch, Grandmama, is 97, and is visited daily by a friend from her time in the East Indies, Takma, who is also in his 90’s. Together, they harbor a deep, dark, and violent secret from their time in the Indies 60 years previously.

As the book opens, Takma’s granddaughter Ellie has just agreed to marry Lot, son of Grandmama’s youngest daughter Ottilie, who is on her third marriage, an unhappy one to a man named Steyn. Grandmama’s family is large, and there are close to a dozen other main characters in her children and their spouses (the aunts and uncles), and all the children of the aunts and uncles.

Grandmama and Takma have lived with their secret (“the Thing”) all these years, believing that no one else knows. Over the course of the book, we come to know that this belief is mistaken. Other people know, and as events transpire, more and more people learn the secret. By the end of the book, just about everyone knows, although just about everyone thinks no one else knows.

Couperus cleverly plays with constantly shifting points of view, which he does quite successfully. I enjoyed this book, although I found the writing a bit overwrought at times. Recommended.

Moeilijk te lezen (oud taalgebruik, veel personages), maar toch een knap verhaal. ( )

A literary crime book... Amazing how secrets come hunting the persons after many, many years...

Since this is an old time favorite, I just as well might send this one out in the Dutch version of the 'favorite book roundabout'. Have not decided yet. ( )

Boeiend relaas over wroeging na een moord. Naturalistische roman. Couperus beschrijft heel mooi en met liefde mensen en hun onderlinge relaties. ( )
