A friend lent me this book. She said I am going to like it. Well..let me find out then. This is a short stories collection consists of 25 stories. The scene is in Jakarta (yep..the title says so) but not all happens in a cafe. But soon I drown into the book I just found my self (as if) sitting in the cafe, sipping my hot chocolate and observing people around me.
The book actually tells about everyday stories in Jakarta, about the single parent, love affair, neighbour, friendship, gossip, reunion, cafe's customers, etc. They are simple stories but the author knew how to turn these stories into awesome stories. Some stories seems very short and leaves us with 'unfinished' feeling but I guess it's just the author's style to keep the readers curious and stick to the stories till the end. And I did. I read all of them and had a good time.
Some of the stories in the book had been published in 2004 under the same title while some others also had been parts of Single Mom's Day Out (Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2005) and Vinyet (Grasindo, 2006).
