Description:
A boy experiences the end of his childhood in a poor and forgotten part of Amsterdam: the Bickerseiland before the urban redevelopment of the seventies. It is a closed community in which the boy's family is omnipresent. His ancestors once settled here. Then the generations succeeded each other in ever greater numbers. Like rabbits in a burrow system, they managed to fill more and more houses on the same square kilometre.
This is the only world the eleven-year-old protagonist of Sunday Money knows. Yet he increasingly feels like an outsider, no matter how much he fights against it.
Accurate, loving and with an eye for detail, Philip Snijder not only portrays life in a poor working-class neighborhood, but also the growth of an intelligent boy who changes from fellow player to spectator.
