The Architecture of Love
by Ika Natassa
Description
Every person has at least one secret that will break your heart. For some, it might be their past. For some others, it might be their reasons. And for Raia and River in The Architecture of Love, it was both.
Raia, an Indonesian bestselling author, could no longer write a single sentence after her muse, her husband, left her. In despair, she fled to New York, hoping that the city often sees as beacon of hope could be the place where she can rebuild herself as writer and as woman.
River, a talented architect, fled to New York for the noise. The chaos of the city was the only thing that would cover up the noise of the last three years that always haunted him. The voices echoing in his head calling him a murderer, the killer of his own wife.
A chance encounter at a New Year's Eve party led to an unusual friendship between them, as they stroll around the city every day, bonded by loneliness, evermore confined by their secrets, until their hearts start wanting for more only to find that the past could never let them go.
Through The Architecture of Love, a tale of two strangers and two broken souls in search for answers, Ika Natassa offers a genuine look into the urban society of Indonesia.
