Born into wealth and privilege, Rudolf Kerkhoven is destined to
follow his father's footsteps into the Dutch colonies, with its
uncleared jungle foothills and potential for riches. When he
arrives in Java he is immediately smitten by the landscape and the
life, and over the seasons, Rudolf's dedication and diligence
gradually transform the land into a productive estate for tea,
coffee and quinine. When he meets the independent-minded Jenny and
their two sons are born, Rudolf is happier than he thought
possible. But for Jenny, the damp austerity of their home, her
fertility, her father's secret, and the native spirits of the land
grow to overshadow their marriage and the life they've strived for
together. Lusciously atmospheric and masterfully drawn, this is an
unforgettable story of aspiration, determination, rivalry and
romance on a tropical plantation.
