Bewitched by Indonesia for twenty-five years, Elizabeth Pisani recently traveled 26,000 miles around the archipelago in search of the links that bind this impossibly disparate nation. Fearless and funny, Pisani shares her deck space with pigs and cows, bunks down in a sulfurous volcano, and takes tea with a corpse. Along the way, she observes Big Men with child brides, debates corruption and cannibalism, and ponders "sticky" traditions that cannot be erased.

I'm an America who moved to Indonesia 2 1/2 years ago and listened to this book shortly after arriving here. I found Pisani's insights into this country so helpful as I adjusted to the culture. There have been numerous times when her descriptions about places and events have leapt into my mind as I've encountered them in real life. And, last month, now that I've lived here a while and have somewhat adjusted to no longer being a "newbie", I listened to it again! A lot more sunk in this second time around given everything I've experienced over the past several years. I have recommended this book to every new expat that I've met. There's no better introduction to life in Indonesia than Indonesia, Etc.
