| Summary |
"De drie vrouwen in het Heilige Woud" by Augusta de Wit is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the profound themes of love, loss, and the search for hope, revolving around the lives of three women—Mboq-Inten, Samirah, and Inten—whose fates intertwine through the legend of a holy site and the supernatural influences surrounding it. The opening portion of the book introduces the sacred forest of Sangean, revered by the local villagers, as a spiritual place linked to a wise king who lived as a hermit and whose legacy inspires many seeking guidance and healing. The narrative then shifts to the struggles of the three women, particularly focusing on Mboq-Inten's longing for her daughter Inten, who has passed away, and Samirah, who grapples with her own heartache and societal pressures due to her childlessness. As they navigate their sorrows and desires, their stories converge, hinting at the possibility of miracles and connections that transcend the physical realm—a reflection of the themes that will unfold throughout the novel.
