Lilly: Pencarian Cinta Seorang Gadis Eropa di Etiopia (Sweetness in the Belly)

The dual settings add so much depth to the story, but I wonder what inspired the author to connect these two worlds so intimately. Was it based on personal experience or research?

Her journey felt very real, but I kept wondering whether she found peace or continued to grapple with her sense of self. How did others interpret her development?

Focusing on the women's experiences gave the novel a powerful voice, but I’m curious whether this choice was driven by the author's personal interest or a desire to highlight certain themes.
