The Economist listed our title Bitter Bonds: A Colonial Divorce Drama of the Seventeenth Century as one of its Books of the Year 2002:

"The story of a rich, half-Japanese beauty in Batavia and her tempestuous divorce from a cold, tough colonial official. Leonard Blusse's new book is...for the light it casts on love and life on a colonial frontier, the most illuminating since 'The Cheese and the Worms'."

And in Times Literary Supplement's "Books of the Year," Felipeo Fernandez-Armesto writes:
"Bitter Bonds is the most intriguing work of micro-history since The Return of Martin Guerre."
