Description
"An unforgiving tale of political horror and womanhood... Fascinating."―Mariana Enriquez
THREE SISTERS. A CARETAKER, A TRAVELLER, AND A BRIDE.
Mutiara and Maya’s lives are irrevocably altered when their younger sister Annisa straps a bomb to her waist and commits a devastating act.
As they grapple with grief, guilt, and unanswered questions, their search leads them to long-concealed secrets, forsaken family bonds, and
the unsettling prophecies of their grandmother, whose enigmatic wisdom has shaped the destinies of women across generations.
Paramaditha's haunting novel subversively blends Islamic mysticism, horror, and political reckoning, all seen through the ghostly lens of Indonesian folklore and occult traditions.
