Recommended literature - Andrea Hirata: "The rainbow troops"

If you are interested to learn more about life in Indonesia , this book will give you a particular insight.
 
When the day dawns at Belitung, Indonesia, nothing can stop them. The students of „The rainbow troops“ – daughters and suns of fishermen and miners – do not want to miss a single lesson, because for them education is the only opportunity to escape poverty. Such as Khaled Hosseini in his book „The kite runner“ Andrea Hirata assimilates his own moving story and opens us an insight into a country torn apart.
