Title: Sirkus Pohon

Author: Andrea Hirata

Summary: Same like the previous book this week, I am still reading this half way. This is the latest Andrea Hirata book that I have purchased since last year, but only I decided to open today. Like other Andrea book, I really enjoy the writing. The style is still similar with his previous novel. The background also still in Belitung. Although I would say the story is about different person, not about himself like in the tetralogy of The Rainbow Troops.

The story is about Tegar and Tara. About "I" and Dinda. About working in the circus. About the searching between Tegar and Tara. About I who fall in love in Dinda. I am guessing there will be a relation between Tegar - Tara and I - Dinda. Maybe they are actually the same person? Will find out the answer once I finish the story. So far, it is quite entertaining. The way Andrea describes the narrative is still rich as what he use to be.
