Average Rating:
 Rating: - Big in Belgium ;)The sorrow of Belgium, one of the better contemporary novels in Belgian (Dutch) literature, a telling story of every day life in WWII and the repression that followed it. A beautifull, not very flattering look at Flemish/Belgian Society. The translation doesn`t offer the unique quality the novel has in its original version, but it`s still more then worth a read. Rating: - Coming of age in war-time FlandersI agree with Ozzie from Ghent, although I read The Sorrow of Belgium in English after having lived in Flanders. It gives a real feel for life in a West Flemish town (? Kortrijk) in the years leading up to and including World War II. Yes, if you know the Low Countries you will feel more than a little nostalgia. But when will someone translate Claus's "Geruchten" (Rumors)?  Try searching the Internet for "The Sorrow of Belgium (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)" or Ebay for "The Sorrow of Belgium (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)".
