Naomi in Indonesia

Karmel Schreyer

In this much-anticipated third and final installment of the NAOMI series, Naomi is now 17 and living in Lombok, Indonesia, when Islamic extremists bomb the nearby tourist resort of Bali.

Coming on the heels of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, Naomi once again has to struggle with the cultural divide between Asia and the West. This divide is made more personal by her complex relationship with Noor, a young Muslim man.

This book completes the story of Naomi, whose adventures growing up in Japan and Hong Kong have been chronicled in Naomi: the Strawberry Blonde of Pippu Town and A Singing Bird Will Come: Naomi in Hong Kong.
