📖 The Scoop
When Penelope Johnson, a beautiful, red-haired American accompanies her geologist husband to Indonesia in 1959, she finds herself suddenly immersed in a very different culture than any she's ever known--one that permits multiple wives and has mice on the menu. In Dancing with Sukarno, Kendra Smith shares Penelope's stories from her years living on Java, told in Penelope's voice. Everyone suspects everyone else of being a spy during these years of the Cold War between the US and the USSR, but Penelope, a keen observer and listener, finds women friends in her new home who confide heartbreaking stories and draw her into their world. Ultimately, Penelope sees the country descend into violence during "the year of living dangerously" that overthrows Indonesia's first president--and forces her to leave her adopted home.
