The first thing that caught my eyes is the author's last name.
It's a rare occasion to see a book written by an Indonesian at Kinokuniya.
So I grabbed this bookfrom the shelves.
ISBN-10: 0755356586
ISBN-13: 9780755356584
As soon as I began to read this, I just couldn't stop.
According to the book's cover the story is about:
"Three strong women. Two feuding families. A singular story of enchantment"
Let me be short, the three strong women are Meridia, the main character, Ravenna (Meridia's mother) and Eva (Meridia's mother-in-law).
The story began with Meridia's birth, followed by her cold childhood at 24th Monarch street, her journey to search the warmth of love from her husband's family at Orchard Road, and finally back to her house seeking her own inner peace.
What I really love about this story is the main conflict described in the book is really the problem that we could face on our daily life. The problem between husband and wife, parents and child and between in-laws. The magical thing makes the story more interesting.
