Misteri Jodoh
Saya bangga dan menyambut gembira atas terbitnya antologi cerpen berjudul Misteri Jodoh ini. Kegembiraan saya berlatar pada kenyataan bahwa secara umum minat kaum muda terhadap kesusastraan masih rendah... Karya sastra tak terkecuali cerita pendek adalah sebuah karya rekaan yang menawarkan nilai-nilai keadaban yang disublimkan dalam bentuk cerita. Karya sastra mengisi jiwa pembaca dengan nilai-nilai keadaban seperti kepekaan sosial, penghargaan terhadap sesama, kesadaran bermasyarakat atau hubungan yang adil dan persaudaraan antarsesama. Dengan demikian, karya sastra menjadi salah satu sumber pembentukan karakter manusia. Sedangkan bagi penulisnya, sebuah karya sastra merupakan bukti upaya sang penulis untuk menumpahkan gagasan dan perasaan¬nya ke dalam bentuk teks (Ahmad Tohari, Budayawan)

The Mesmerist
London, 1838: the controversial practice of Mesmerism, with its genuine practitioners and its fraudulent chancers, has hypnotised the city. Miss Cordelia Preston, a beautiful, ageing, out-of-work actress terrified of returning to the poverty of her childhood, suddenly emerges as a Lady Phreno-Mesmerist. In her candle-lit Bloomsbury basement she learns to harness her talent - and to finally look towards the future. But success is fragile when you have a past filled with secrets. On a wintry, moonlit night a body is found in Bloomsbury Square, and what began as an audacious subterfuge erupts into a scandal. Cordelia's past is revealed, bringing not only heartache but terror - and the mystery of a cloaked figure who waits for her in the shadowy London streets.

The Buddha in the Attic
'An understated masterpiece' San Francisco Chronicle 'Her wisdom is staggeringly beautiful, implicating each of us' Irish Times After the First World War, a group of young women is brought by boat from Japan to San Francisco. They are picture brides, promised the American Dream, clutching photographs of the husbands they have yet to meet, imagining uncertain futures on unknown shores. Struggling to master a new language and culture, they experience tremulous first nights as new wives, backbreaking work in the fields and in the homes of white women, and, later, the raising of children who will ultimately reject their heritage and their history. And then war arrives once more. Julie Otsuka tells their extraordinary, heartbreaking story in this spellbinding and poetic account of strangers lost and alone in a new and deeply foreign land.
