Description
Spanning generations and continents, this epic historical saga traces Indonesia’s turbulent 20th century through the intimate lens of families fractured by state violence and political upheaval. As characters search for belonging and truth, their lives become entwined with the long shadow of mass killings, disappearances, and the struggle to reclaim memory in the face of official silence. Blending sweeping historical scope with deeply personal storytelling, the novel explores themes of homecoming, trauma, identity, and the moral cost of forgetting. With the urgency and documentary sensibility associated with Leila Chudori’s acclaimed work, it offers a powerful, human-centered reckoning with history—one that asks what it means to return, and what it takes to be whole again.
