Publisher's Summary
1941, West Java. Love and revolution are in the air. And war is on its way.
Shortly before the Japanese invade, the van Hoorn family throws their famous Sinterklaas party at their tea plantation in West Java. One of their guests, Mattijs, a Dutch pilot, hopes to forge a future in the Dutch East Indies, possibly with the family's daughter Anna, but she is torn between her dreams of Holland and her desire to belong. Meanwhile the housekeeper, Diah, keenly observes the goings-on around the plantation, wondering how much to tell her freedom-fighter brother. When the Japanese forces finally arrive on Java's doorstep, they all have to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.

Evokes colonial Indonesia
I very much enjoyed the plot, setting, characters and gentle romantic tensions. However I was disappointed in the mispronunciation of the many Indonesian terms. As a speaker of the language this was extremely distracting to the overall book, for me. I believe that an Indonesian speaking narrator should have been sourced to honour the language.

Boring
The beginning where it was quite exciting. But the rest I had to fast forward. A waste of a credit
