Amba: Sebuah Novel


Written by Dhania Putri Sarahtika, originally published in Jakarta Globe

Jul 27, 2018

"Herbtskind," or "The Fall Baby," will instead be published in Germany by Ullstein Verlag. The author spoke to the Jakarta Globe on Friday (20/07) at the newly revamped Aksara Kemang bookstore in South Jakarta to explain how this less-than-usual publishing story happened.
