Boa: Aruba In The Stranglehold

This book would have benefited from professional editing or ghost writing. More critically, the narrative was not well conceived; it seemed to be three-quarters about her personal struggles with Aruba and one-quarter about the child support system there.

Half-way through the book I was still wondering whether the narrative would pick up the issue of child abuse in a more substanti This book would have benefited from professional editing or ghost writing. Half-way through the book I was still wondering whether the narrative would pick up the issue of child abuse in a more substantial way than occasional, haphazard comments. In the end, I tilted toward a belief that there are real, systemic problems in Aruba, but I also came away with an impression that the author's brusque demeanor may have contributed to some of the incidents she experienced professionally.

That is not to say that there were not hints that she had better social skills than what she let on in the narrative, but the book, for me at least, generated some suspicion and a reserve of judgment about what the cause of some of the problems were.

Ik heb het best naar mijn zin in de gekoelde cabine van mijn nieuwe Chevy, boven elk tumult verheven.

Boa: Aruba In The Stranglehold by Rita Zecher

Softmusic uit de 60er jaren dempt quadrafonisch elk gevoel van stress. De trafiek staat stil op de L. Palmbomen rijzen op afgemeten afstanden uit dit levende tapijt de hemel in en zwaaien in de permanente Arubaanse bries. Tussen hun gave stammen staat Wilhelmina in volle glorie, uit steen gehouwen.

The author's first language is not English, and that was evident in the many syntactic problems throughout the book. More critically, the narrative was not well conceived; it seemed to be three-quarters about her personal struggles in Aruba and one-quarter about the child support system there.

Half-way through the book I was still wondering whether the narrative would pick up the issue of child abuse in more than a passing way.

In the end, I tilted toward a belief that there are real, systemic problems with Aruba's child care system, but I also came away with an impression that the author's brusque demeanor may have contributed to some of the incidents she experienced professionally. That's not to say that there were not hints that she had better social skills than what she let on in the narrative, but the narrative, for me at least, generated suspicion and a reserve of judgment about what the cause of some of the problems was.

Despite these suspicions, and perhaps because of them, the book did feel more like real life than polished memoir, and I have to give the author credit for laying herself out there as she experienced and processed her brief trials in Aruba.
