About This Book

Een weergave van het leven van Nederlandse koloniale kringen in Indië, waarin sfeervolle beschrijvingen van plantentuin en bal het toneel vormen voor huwelijksleven, familieverhoudingen, liefdesperikelen en sociale intrigues. Fragmentarisch opgebouwde episodes tonen huishoudelijke details, vriendschap, ambitie, ziekte, verlies en moed, afgewisseld met reizen naar berggebied en gevaren in het oerwoud. De tekst onderzoekt heimwee, plichtsbesef en persoonlijke offers terwijl personages hun gevoelens ontdekken, beslissingen nemen en uiteindelijk op weg gaan naar verandering of afscheid.
