WINNER of the Opzij Literature Prize 2019! During the Second World
War two Jewish sisters - Janny and Lien Brilleslijper - run one of
the largest hideaways in The Netherlands: The High Nest, a villa in
The Gooi area. While the last remaining Jews are being hunted in
The Netherlands, the lives of dozens of hideaways kept going for
better or for worse, right under the noses of their National
Socialist neighbours. Eventually, the nest is exposed and the
Brilleslijper family put on one of the last transports to
Auschwitz, along with the (Anne) Frank family. Roxane's novelistic
eye combined with her rigorous research result in a hugely
compelling portrayal of courage, treason and human resilience. THE
HIGH NEST is a truly unforgettable book. After Roxane and her
family moved into The High Nest in 2012 she spent six years writing
and piecing together its story. Fundamental elements of Roxane's
research into The High Nest are the personal, unpublished memoirs
Janny Brilleslijper wrote for their close friends and family
members. Roxane gained access to historic interviews with Janny,
Lien, Eberhard and others, as well as many personal conversations
with Janny and Lien's children. The book will contain many
photographs from the Brilleslijper family archive.
