Book Launch: Fall Baby by Laksmi Pamuntjak

Join us for the launch of Laksmi Pamuntjak's newest novel, Fall Baby, at Books Actually!

Fall Baby tells the story of two women who used to be best friends—Srikandi (Siri), a globetrotting visual artist, and Dara, a political activist. It is a story of seeing and unseeing; of freedom and censorship; of East and West; of memory and identity; of family bonds and making peace with the past; and ultimately, of the most unexpected yet precious gift of all: the sisterhood of women.
