Last September, I was strolling leisurely in MPH Book store, Spring with some mates. It was in the middle of Semester 4 and I don't have any intention to buy any novel as I do still have some unread ones arranged nicely on my rack. Yet, this novel caught my attention. Though it took me like months to finish my reading on it, I am satisfy! Inspiring, indeed!
This novel opens the door to the different possibility of journeys in life. Identity, love, marriage and parenthood that are bound together into the very closest thing in the heart: family. The title itself draws my attention on how everything is unfolded in this story. Yes, there are just so many things about court and laws written in here, yet that doesn't create any boredom. The arguments brought up on the court portray the different sides of the identity issue in human life. Is it so wrong to be someone who is not acceptable by the society and law? Different people have different stance on this issue. The ending is a good twist. Yet, it is not the happy ending that matter to me but how each chapter, each sentence and each word are tied together, becoming a path to be travelled by the mind into an amazing adventure, seeing the widespread horizon of life as well as broadening the mind into something brand new. Reading is a form of travelling, figuratively. Though I am not a loyal reader, still reading is one of my preferable free time activity.
