Heren Van De Thee by Hella S. Haasse
Set in the Dutch East Indies during the height of the plantation era, the novel follows a family of tea planters across decades, tracing their ambitions, rivalries and intimate relationships as the fortunes of their estate rise and fall; through detailed evocations of the plantation landscape and sustained attention to encounters between Europeans and Javanese, it examines the moral and cultural consequences of colonial enterprise and the personal costs of power, love and social change.
