New Book Release, TWILIGHT IN KUTA: Love and Lies in Indonesia By David Nesbit

When young western tourist Neil meets Indonesian girl Yossy on Kuta beach, he decides to settle permanently in Indonesia knowing his life is about to change forever. Will it be the paradise he is yearning for? When cracks start to appear in Neil’s halcyon existence he is forced to re- evaluate all he holds dear.

Twilight in Kuta explores love, loss and infidelity in present- day Indonesia from a number of perspectives: the bule (Caucasian) English teacher, the frustrated and cheating Indonesian wife, the mixed-race schoolgirl, the Javanese ex-soldier and the naive village girl desperate for love. Their stories intertwine throughout the book, and the various narrators offer different interpretations of the events that unfold. Author David Nesbit writes a love letter to the country that he now calls home with its beauty and its flaws.
