| Summary | "Clara van Merenstein: Haagsch-Indische Roman" by Karamati is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Clara van Merenstein, a young girl returning home from a boarding school in Germany, where she longs for the beauty of nature she enjoyed there, while expressing her disappointment about being recalled to Holland. The novel explores themes of family dynamics, cultural heritage, and the challenges of personal identity that arise from her mixed Dutch-Indonesian background. The opening of the novel introduces Clara's homecoming and her complicated feelings about returning to her mother, Mevrouw van Merenstein, after nearly a year away. The narrative presents the mother-daughter relationship, marked by both affection and tension, as Clara is met with disappointment upon finding no one to welcome her home. Scenes of familial discord are depicted through a humorous yet poignant encounter between Mevrouw van Merenstein and her youngest daughter, Loetjoe. This sets the stage for the exploration of Clara's inner conflict about her upbringing, her expectations of home, and her relationships in a society that is distinctly different from the one she knew at school.
