Gadis Pesisir
“Kalau Kakak tidak cinta dia, kenapa Kakak mau kawin sama dia?” Wajah Halijah terangkat. Gadis cilik berusia empat belas tahun itu menoleh ke arah adiknya. Mata bagusnya menatap Ai dengan tatapan sayang. Di mata bagusnya kini terekam tangan Dus yang bengkak kemerahan dan bilur-bilur kebiruan akibat pukulan sapu lidi Ibu Jawa, Ai yang menangis keras akibat hinaan Mamak Nur karena kedapatan memakai celana dalam bekas Wening, juga mereka sekeluarga yang kerap makan bubur nasi encer yang tak mampu membuat kenyang siapa pun. Halijah mengerjapkan matanya, berharap bayangan itu segera lenyap dari pikirannya. Tapi, semakin keras ia berusaha, semakin nyata bayangan itu menghantuinya. Maka, dengan nada setenang angin sore itu, Halijah pun menjawab, “Kalau aku bisa membuat kita tidak lapar dengan menikahi laki-laki tua itu, tidak ada yang jelek dengan itu. Sama sekali tidak ada yang jelek.”
Lengking Burung Kasuari
“Tukang potong kep sedang mencari kepala anak-anak.” Aku bergeming. Tak merasa perlu gemetar seperti ketika pertama kali mengetahui kep itu artinya apa. “Ah, yang macam beginian cuma cerita omong kosong saja,” aku menyahut begitu dengan nada tak acuh. Sendy jadi tersinggung. Ia mendelik, mengangkat kepalanya, dan memelototiku, “Baik, kalau tidak percaya. Coba saja kalau tidak percaya. Lihat akibatnya nanti.” “Jembatannya sudah jadi. Tidak perlu lagi kepala anak-anak,” aku menantangnya. “Perlu kepala anak-anak,” Sendy ngotot. “Tetap perlu.” “Mau ditanam di mana lagi?” “Di bawah jembatan. Memang mau di mana lagi?” “Kenapa kamu tidak takut sama dia?” tanyaku....

Love in the Kingdom of Oil
A woman disappears without trace. Nobody, including the police commissioner investigating the case, can understand how a woman could simply walk away, leaving husband and home behind. After all, in the Kingdom of Oil where His Majesty reigns supreme, no woman has ever dared disobey the command of men. When the woman finally reappears, there is a blurring between the men in her life, as she leaves one to join another, then returns to her first husband who has since taken a new wife. She is trapped in a man-made web, unable to escape from a male figure who continually fills urns that she must carry.
Earth Dance
"Earth Dance," the story of four generations of Balinese women, centers on conflicts that arise between the demands of caste and personal desires. Narrated by Ida Ayu Telaga, a Balinese woman in her thirties, the novel shows Balinese women-as depicted by her mother, grandmother and female peers-to be motivated by two factors: the yearning to be beautiful, and the desire for a high-caste husband. Headstrong Telaga defies her mother's wishes and marries the man of her dreams, who is a commoner. Thus, in a reversal of societal expectations, as shown in the novel by images of women who aspire to "liberation" through "marrying up," Telaga's emancipation is implicitly characterized as a move downwards, through transformation to the status of a commoner. "Earth Dance" also reveals that-like high-caste status-beauty, too, has a price. Behind the thick, glossy hair and golden complexion, lies a web of jealousy, derision and intrigue. Telaga, whose life is controlled by her mother's avarice, her mother-in-law's bitterness and the greed of her sister-in-law, has frequent cause to wonder: "Is this what it means to be a woman?"
