Departures
a novel
As an airhostess with the new Indonesian Airlines, Elisa is determined to establish her independence and find a place where she really feels she belongs. With a troubled family background and almost no knowledge of her past or ancestry, Elisa is searching for her true identity. If finding her real father proves a heartbreaking search, then perhaps marriage to the handsome Javanese man she has fallen deeply in love will give her the sense of belonging and stability for which she yearns. In this story, Elisa learns what it means to be a young woman finding her way in the troubled early years after Indonesia’s independence.
