Minke, zoon van een Javaanse regent, gaat naar de HBS gaat in een tijd waarin dit onderwijsniveau normaal gezien alleen voorbehouden is aan kinderen van Europese kolonialen. Minke is een getalenteerd jong schrijver wiens artikelen worden gepubliceerd in diverse Nederlandstalige kranten - onder het pseudoniem Max Tollenaar waardoor de schrijver een Nederlander lijkt - en die daardoor breed worden gewaardeerd. Maar als inlander wordt Minke door veel van zijn klasgenoten, allemaal met Europees bloed, met de nek aangekeken. Minke wordt voorgesteld aan een zeer ongebruikelijke Indonesische vrouw, Njai Ontosoroh, concubine van de Nederlander Herman Mellema. Zij runt op kordate manier het bedrijf van Mellema, die inmiddels vrijwel nooit meer thuis is. Minke wordt verliefd op haar dochter, Annelies Mellema.
