The AIS Book Club will hold its third meeting on 2nd May 2024, 1-2.30pm UK/19.00-20.30 WIB. The group will be discussing ‘Kejatuhan dan Hati’ (The Fall and the Heart) by S Rukiah; the story of a young middle-class woman in conflict with her family because of her lover, set against the backdrop of the revolution years.
Preparations are being made to accompany the discussion of the book with a panel session of scholars/aficionados of the author, hopefully to include her translator and one of her daughters, though final participants are still to be finalised.
All members of the Society are invited to attend the panel and indeed the reading and discussion of the novel. The novel may be read in either Indonesian or English, and discussion is in English. Some English-language versions of the novel are available at a cost of £10 including p&p. Please contact Ian Rowland rowland@myphone.coop if interested.
