Annisa

A young Indonesian woman with an ailing mother and a celebrity father whose moon is on the wane.

A painful family secret dragged into the open, a subversive Western lecturer, and nowhere else to turn.

A steady drift into dangerous waters, a choice between black and white when everything seems grey.

‘A simple and perceptive drama, Annisa shines a light on social matters close to the hearts of many Indonesians.’ -Muzakkir Husain, Berita Satu

John Michaelson was born and grew up in South West England. A family man and an idealist, he spends his time drinking coffee, eating street food, and travelling with his wife and children. Annisa is his second book for Gramedia.
