520 _a"Een Indisch huwelijk" by Carry van Bruggen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story takes place on a Dutch plantation in the East Indies, focusing on the experiences of newlywed Coenraad van Till and his European wife. It delves into the complexities of their marital life, the challenges posed by cultural differences, and the interactions with their neighbors and colleagues, revealing the tensions and expectations surrounding colonial existence. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a celebratory dinner hosted for the newlyweds, where the male guests express a mix of admiration and envy towards Coenraad, who has brought a "full-blooded" European woman to their isolated lives. The atmosphere is filled with their attempts to impress her while showcasing the exotic fruits and delights of Indochina. As the revelry progresses, inner thoughts of longing and dissatisfaction arise among the men, contrasting their lonely lives with the perceived happiness of the Van Tills. This initial setting lays the foundation for exploring themes of happiness, social interactions, and the intricate dynamics of life in a colonial setting as the story unfolds.
