Description:
'A beautiful story about courage and desire, with deep insights into the ancient Indies' Yvonne Keuls

Amsterdam, 1907. The orphan girl Anna dreams of a different, grander life. One day she responds to an advertisement in which a civil servant in the Dutch East Indies is looking for a wife. Once in Batavia, Anna quickly discovers that her marriage to the rigid Willem is nothing more than a cover for career intrigues, secret loves and concealed family ties. Tropenbruid is a sizzling love story against the background of an underexposed part of our colonial history.
