Goena - goena by Paul Adriaan Daum is a gripping novel that explores the complexities of human nature and the impact of colonialism on indigenous populations.

The characters are well-developed and their motivations are nuanced, making them feel like real people with conflicting desires and beliefs.

Book Description:
Een literaire thriller uit het Indiƫ van de negentiende eeuw. Moord, doodslag en een aantrekkelijke jonge vrouw die weet wat ze wil. Waarom van dit boek nog geen film is gemaakt, en waarom dit boek zoveel minder beroemd is dan die andere 'Stille Kracht' is mij een raadsel!
