| Summary | "Van Smyrna naar Holland in oorlogstijd" by Betsy van der Poel is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This travel narrative captures the experiences of a young woman navigating her return to the Netherlands from Smyrna during the turmoil of World War I, highlighting the challenges she faces amidst various cultural encounters and the chaos of war. The book follows the protagonist as she embarks on a long and arduous journey from Smyrna, where she had lived for almost three years, back to her homeland. Along the way, she details her emotional farewells to friends and the community she formed in Turkey. The narrative unfolds through various travel segments, including chaotic train rides filled with overcrowded carriages and interactions with fellow travelers from diverse backgrounds. As she navigates challenges across borders, such as customs inspections and navigating language barriers, she reflects not only on the journey but also on the stark contrasts between life in wartime and her memories of peace, ultimately emphasizing themes of resilience, cultural exchange, and the personal impacts of war.
