“Tiap bunga punya makna tersendiri. Tiap bunga beresonansi dengan emosi dan harapan yang ada di dalam hati. Ketika Ran membuka Hanakotoba—bahasa bunga—untuk mengobati patah hati, seiring berlalunya hari, tak diduganya orang lain merangkai kisah warna-warni dengan puspa yang dipajang di tokonya. Beberapa jiwa yang bersentuhan dengan bunga, mendapati mereka telah diubah sepenuhnya. Demikianlah yang terjadi dalam berbagai cerita pendek dalam Hanakotoba.”
Author
Call her Donna or Angela, she might respond with a smile. This Indonesian writer divides her time juggling to make ends meet, writing, balancing her attention between her partner (Isman H. Suryaman) and children, managing the household, and of course, occasionally sipping earl grey tea to keep her sane. She has written twenty books so far, popular fiction, in Gramedia Pustaka Utama (GPU). Her newest book, Candrasa, is published in August 2017. Her passion for new experiences propels her to seek new chances to meet more people. Enthused for fresh inspirations, she longs to join multicultural events, collecting data and broadening her horizon. She claims to be unique, independent and strong. She dreams and imagines a lot. "But what is love, and what is life, if you do not let yourself live?"
