For Nadira by Leila S. Chudori
One gloomy morning, Nadira Suwandi finds her mother has committed suicide. The death of Nadira’s mother Kemala Yunus, an expressive, free-thinking woman who always struggled to find her own self, comes as a shock.

Kemala’s death influences Nadira’s life as a girl (“Sky Painting”), a journalist (“Prayer Beads), a lover (“Longest Kiss”) and a wife, and brings Nadira into an exploration of a new world, an untouched world of sexuality (“Kirana”). In the last two stories within this collection, “Before the Sun Rises” and “From New York to Legian”, we delve deeper into Nadira’s inner world.
