By Leila S. Chudori (author), John H. McGlynn (translator)

Short Description:

Home is Leila S Chudori’s remarkable fictional account of the impact of the September 30 Movement of 1965. While the tumultuous events of 1965, which led to the murder of a million or more presumed Communists and the exile of thousands of Indonesian citizens; are the backdrop of the story, Home is not a novel about ideology or political power. Set in Jakarta and Paris in the years between 1965-1998, Home is about the lives of Indonesian exiles, their families and friends, including those left behind in Indonesia. This story is one of love, lust, and betrayal but one that also includes laughter, adventure and food.
