Description
Rudolf Kerkhoven's arrival in Java marked the beginning of a new era for his family's estate. As he transformed the land into a thriving tea, coffee, and quinine plantation, he found happiness with his wife Jenny and their two sons. However, the challenges of their tropical home soon took its toll on their marriage, as Jenny struggled to cope with the damp austerity of their life and her own fertility issues. As the seasons passed, Rudolf's dedication and perseverance were put to the test by the land itself and the native spirits that inhabited it. Meanwhile, Jenny's past began to surface, threatening to upend their carefully constructed life together. Lush and atmospheric, this novel is a masterful exploration of aspiration, determination, rivalry, and romance on a tropical plantation. Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 20th-century Java, The Tea Lords is a richly drawn tale of love, loss, and the human spirit's capacity to adapt in the face of adversity.
