Description

Chuck Ramkissoon's death at the bottom of a New York canal in 2006 sets off a chain of memories for Hans van den Broek, a Dutch banker who had spent two years living in the city. His time in New York was marked by both beauty and darkness, particularly in his experiences with the immigrant cricket community. Hans's friendship with Chuck Ramkissoon, an American who dreamed of establishing the city's first proper cricket field, played a significant role in shaping his time in New York. As Hans grew to share Chuck's dream and sense of American possibility, he began to glimpse the darker meaning behind his friend's activities and ambitions. This novel explores themes of belonging and not belonging, as well as the complexities of male friendship and marriage. With its focus on the anxieties and uncertainties of our new century, 'Netherland' is a work of extraordinary beauty and brilliance.
