Books like Tenggelamnya kapal Van der Wijck by Hamka


Zainuddin, born to a Minang father and Bugis mother, leaves his homeland Mengkasar for his father's native Padang Panjang, only to find himself an outsider in his own family’s village. While there, he meets Hayati and they fall in love, but her family rejects their union because of differences in custom, status, and wealth. Hayati marries Aziz, a wealthy and honorable Minang man, yet his character conflicts with his heritage. In search of healing, Zainuddin moves to Java, where his writings gain unexpected admiration and he achieves fame and wealth. During this period, Hayati reappears in his life, and their pure love is tested by the fate of the Van der Wijck ship, whose ultimate tragedy answers the questions of their love.
