The Goat and The Rain
by Mahfud Ikhwan
This modern Indonesian romance with Romeo and Juliet-ish vibes tells the love story of Miftahul Abrar and Nurul Fauzia. They both were raised in Islamic family, but having the same faith doesn’t make it easy for them. The secrets between two different families from two different cultures revealed as they struggled to break the walls between them. It’s more than romance, it’s history and the imagery of indonesian society written in a such beautiful narrative.
