THE THREAD OF NUSA BARUNG Tagline: Some islands don't want to be found. Some hearts do. A Novel by ERFIENA ANGGRAENI MALIKI Prologue - The Island That Refuses There are two kinds of islands in Indonesia. The ones that want to be found, and the ones that don't. Nusa Barung, 16 kilometers south of Jember, East Java, is the second kind. 6,000 hectares of karst cliffs, teak forest, and white sand that the government made a Cagar Alam - strict nature reserve. Officially, because of the endangered Javan hawk-eagle. Unofficially, because in 1974, the entire village of Pondok Jati that tried to transmigrate there left in one night, leaving their chickens and rice cookers behind. No one lives there. Fishermen from Puger will take you for Rp. 2 million, but they will not wait. "If the wind changes, I leave you," they say. And they will. Because Nusa Barung is not haunted. Haunted means dead things live there. Nusa Barung is occupied. By something that was never dead.

Effie Genevieve is twenty-four, a junior archivist at the Chronos Archive, where dead timelines are cataloged and forgotten. She has a logical mind, a quiet life, and a secret she has never told anyone: since she was seven years old, she has been visiting the same city in her lucid dreams.
