Rootless Black Roses is both a tragic yet inspirational tale of courage against a brutal backdrop of human rights violations. The intersecting lives of a group of friends – as seen through the eyes of each one in turn – provides a roller-coaster journey through the shared experience of a people subjected to repression. Sad yet honest, this tale explores the identity crisis that Melanesians face daily on their own soil striving to defend their culture, language and humanity against a half century of “illegal” Indonesian rule. Aprila R. A. Wayar is a gifted and perceptive storyteller with compassion for the anguish of her Papuan brothers and sisters.

Dear ms. Wayar,
ReplyDeleteI would love to read your book Rootless black roses (in English). However, I seem unable to find where I can order it. Could you point me in the right direction?
