• Samenvatting
  A Dark Tale of Colonial Intrigue… Amidst the richness of the Dutch East Indies, "Bitter Harvest" unfurls a gripping saga of ambition and betrayal in the twilight of colonial power. Two men are ensnared in a desperate bid to salvage their fortunes by seizing a lucrative Java sugar contract - through royal favor, sidestepping the bounds of merit and ethics. As Governor-General, Louis Talmont battles the allure of corruption and his conscience, his great love, Sari, embodies the resistance to colonial norms and offers him a glimpse of redemption amid personal turmoil. Louis's journey through Java lays bare the brutalities of colonialism and his own conflicted soul. As political upheaval and scandals rock the home country, and a legal maelstrom swirls around obtaining the sugar contract, Louis must navigate the treacherous tides of power and loyalty. In a world veering towards more ethical governance, "Bitter Harvest" is a poignant narrative of personal struggle, societal change, and the quest for integrity in a time of imperial decay. This tale is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of historical and cultural adversity.
