Sulawesi, 1946. As the people's movement rolls inexorably towards the establishment of an Indonesian republic, Dutch colonial rule is on the brink of collapse. The Braak family faces the inevitable, but not before confronting the truth about their own lives and the legacy they will leave behind. The Language of the Gods is a remarkable insight into turbulent times and a powerful human drama about people whose lives are set to change forever.
