Sunday book review

A book reviewer who can get to the core of a writer's meaning
and present that compellingly to readers, is a writer's treasured
friend. The authors of Pengalaman Perempuan: Pergulatan Lintas
Agama have such a friend in Harry Bhaskara, who reviewed their
book on Oct. 2 in this newspaper. The review describes the book
as a story of five women, but a story that also transcends their
individual stories to tell us something about Indonesia.

Thanks to Mr. Bhaskara's review, we who want to understand
Indonesia and its interreligious and interethnic barriers have
found a source of help.
