“The Flamboya Tree is a fascinating story that will leave the reader informed about a missing piece of the World War II experience, and in awe of one family’s survival.” —Elizabeth M. Norman, author of We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese “It is a well-known fact that war, any war, is senseless and degrading. When innocent people are brought into that war because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, it becomes incomprehensible. Java, 1942, was such a place and time, and we were those innocent people.” Fifty years after the end of World War II, Clara Olink Kelly sat down to write a memoir that is both a fierce and enduring testament to a mother’s courage and a poignant record of an often overlooked chapter of the war. As the fighting in the Pacific spread, four-year-old Clara Olink and her family found their tranquil, pampered lives on the beautiful island of Java torn apart by the invasion of Japanese troops. Clara’s father was taken away, forced to work on the Burma railroad. For Clara, her mother, and her two brothers, the younger one only six weeks old, an insistent knock on the door ended all hope of escaping internment in a concentration camp. For nearly four years, they endured starvation, filth-ridden living conditions, sickness, and the danger of violence from their prison guards. Clara credits her mother with their survival: Even in the most perilous of situations, Clara’s mother never compromised her beliefs, never admitted defeat, and never lost her courage. Her resilience sustained her three children through their frightening years in the camp. Told through the eyes of a young Clara, who was eight at the end of her family’s ordeal, The Flamboya Tree portrays her mother’s tenacity, the power of hope and humor, and the buoyancy of a child’s spirit. A painting of a flamboya tree—a treasured possession of the family’s former life—miraculously survived the surprise searches by the often brutal Japanese soldiers and every last-minute flight. Just as her mother carried this painting through the years of imprisonment and the life that followed, so Clara carries her mother’s unvanquished spirit through all of her experiences and into the reader’s heart.

A heartbreaking account of the persecution and internment of a family by the Japanese during World War II, told from a child's point of view, THE FLAMBOYA TREE is both a tribute to a mother's resilience and a poignant and timeless story. Its simplicity and the universal message of a mother's wartime love and courage infuse an account of terrible hardship with hope and inspiration.At the age of fifty-eight, Clara Olink Kelly sat down to write her very first book. THE FLAMBOYA TREE is a lovingly written memoir that is a compelling tribute to her mother's resilience. Clara writes about her family's internment in a Japanese concentration camp on the beautiful Indonesian island of Java. Clara's mother, who led a pampered life before the war, enters the camp with three small children, including a six-week-old baby. Their father had already been taken away, forced to work on the Burma railroad. Through four unbearable, inhumane years of camp life, the Olinks survived, thanks to their mother's incredible tenacity.Told through the eyes of a young Clara, who was four at the beginning of her family's ordeal and eight when it ended, THE FLAMBOYA TREE poignantly portrays her mother's unflagging courage and the buoyancy of the human spirit. Just as the family's painting of a Flamboya tree - a favourite artifact of their former life - miraculously survives every last-minute flight and surprise search by the Japanese, Clara carries her mother's spirit of love, humour, and bravery through all of her experiences and into the reader's heart.

' "Why didn't you try to escape?" That was all she said. I had imagined my grandmother telling us how lovely it was to see us at last. I saw again in my mind's eye the barbwire fences and the soldiers with the glistening bayonets, and felt once more that excruciating fear in the pit of my stomach. Try to escape? Lots of people had tried to escape.'When the Japanese invaded the beautiful Indonesian island of Java during the Second World War Clara Kelly was four years old. Her family was separated, her father sent to work on the Burma railway, and she together with her mother and her two brothers, one a six week old baby, were sent to a 'women's camp'. They were interned there until the end of the war. Clara's descriptions of the appalling deprivations and impersonal brutality of the camp - standing in the baking heat for hours of 'Tenko' rolecall, living on one cup of rice a day - are countered by the courage and resilience shown by all the internees, most poignantly her own mother. Remarkable too is the way the children, Clara and her elder brother, and their friends keep their spirits high, finding ways to play even in the darkest times with death one false move away. Just as the painting of a Flamboya tree miraculously survives every last minute flight and surprise search by the Japanese, Clara carries her mother's spirit of love, humour, and courage through all of her experiences and into the reader's heart.
