The narrative is set against the backdrop of life in the Dutch East Indies during the late 19th century and early 20th century, exploring the complex social dynamics between Europeans and the native population. The story focuses on the resident, Van Oudijck, highlighting his personal life, professional responsibilities, and his interactions with his family, especially his wife Léonie and their children, as well as the native society around them. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is evocative, illustrated through the detailed descriptions of the moonlit landscape and the quiet tension lingering over the town of Labuwangi. The resident, feeling a mix of loneliness and professional duty, walks through the town, showcasing the separation between European officials and the native population. As the opening chapters unfold, we are introduced to the resident's family dynamic and the daily life at the residency, specifically through interactions at dinner and the subtle tensions that arise within familial relationships. This sets the stage for the deeper exploration of personal and societal conflicts as the plot develops.
