In this exhilarating culinary novel, a woman's road trip through
Indonesia becomes a discovery of friendship, self, and other rare
delicacies. Aruna is an epidemiologist dedicated to food and avian
politics. One is heaven, the other earth. The two passions blend in
unexpected ways when Aruna is asked to research a handful of
isolated bird flu cases reported across Indonesia. While it's put a
crimp in her aunt's West Java farm, and made her own confit de
canard highly questionable, the investigation does provide an
irresistible opportunity. It's the perfect excuse to get away from
corrupt and corrosive Jakarta and explore the spices of the
far-flung regions of the islands with her three friends: a
celebrity chef, a globe-trotting "foodist," and her coworker
Farish. From Medan to Surabaya, Palembang to Pontianak, Aruna and
her friends have their fill of local cuisine. With every delicious
dish, she discovers there's so much more to food, politics, and
friendship. Now, this liberating new perspective on her country-and
on her life-will push her to pursue the things she's only dreamed
of doing.
