Home is a family saga of #Indonesia from 1965-1998, but most of the book is set in Paris. Dinas Suryo can‘t go home and ends up starting an Indonesian restaurant in Paris. Then the story shifts to his daughter, Lintang, a student at the Sorbonne who has an assignment to make a documentary film.
Although it took me a while to finish, by the end, I was so absorbed in this family, their history, the food, and the meaning of home. #ReadingAsia2021
