Zusammenfassung:This is a novel set in and around an Indonesian village as news of Japan's surrender gradually makes its way to her far-flung army. War has transformed the quiet Sumatran village of Teratakbuluh, bringing with it the officious members of the Japanese army, and a cap where Dutch internees, some of whom are plotting escape, are put to hard labor. The Japanese officer Lieutenant Ose struggles with his conscience--how to handle the love he feels for his Javanese servant, and for his wife who has betrayed him for a powerful general, and how to cope with the impending end of a war he never wanted to be involved in. As both the Dutch plan of escape and the news of surrender loom nearer, tensions rise and culminate in a final, heartbreaking act of violence.
