Summary	Set against the backdrop of the Dutch East Indies and Nazi-occupied Holland, this lyrical novel delivers epic themes -- from the legacy of colonialism to the elusiveness of memory -- filtered through the rich imagination of a five-year-old girl.
	Living with her parents on the island of Java in the late 1930s, Lulu moves in a world populated by "tea ladies, " "night people, " and spirits in trees. But through her eyes, we also witness a more domestic drama. When one day Lulu innocently describes a scene sh stumbled across late one night, the repercussions are felt for many years and across two continents. A moving and intelligent story of a childhood overwhelmed by history, The Song and the Truth introduces a brilliant new literary voice.
