Matthew Van Dorn, in fact, the writer of this book, was born and raised in Amsterdam, but on first sight, clear of tropical origin, son of a white Dutch mother and a white Dutch stepfather. After his turbulent youth years in the Amsterdam of the early fifties and sixties, plus an early marriage, he is becoming increasingly interested in his other, Indonesian, branch of origin. His mother Rosa plays a crucial role, in the spiritual development of his life: A kind of a love-hate relationship. He decides to make a trip with a travel group through Indonesia to hopefully find something of his roots. This book deals in particular with that journey and the ups and downs of such a travel company, with flashbacks from his early childhood and the story of his biological father from Indonesia as the second story-line in Flash-backs.
