This first book in a "quartet" introduces the intriguing Minke, a Javanese youth attending an elite Dutch high school at the end of the 1800s in east Java. You don't need to know anything about Indonesia past or present to enjoy this novel and Minke's entry into adulthood at a pivotal time in his people's history.
