In this coming-of-age novel four Indonesian high-school students seek to discover what their future will bring and find answers to their questions about sexuality. With characters ranging from cross-dressing hairdressers, drag queens, and rent boys to fanatic Muslims and low-life security personnel, the action of this tragicomedy moves between an Islamic boarding school and a gay bar in Jakarta, and in so doing illuminates the mindset and yearning of a new generation of Indonesians.
Maya, a thirty-something Indonesian, takes a leap of faith from Jakarta to a job as a waitress aboard a European cruise ship. Set in cruise ship cabins and East London pubs, this tragicomedy is a tale of survival, a search for identity, and the hope of finding a harbour in life’s stormy sea.
