Once again, I watch the sun set across the Lombok Strait, just as Alfred Russel Wallace did almost two centuries ago. I watch as the world turns, draining the light from the sky, painting it with a deep orange wash. Before me, the sea is a vast, shimmering plain. Lost in a haze of golden light, tiny sailboats, local dugouts, outriggers, appear to float on air, their triangular sails caught in the sea mist, suspended between heaven and earth. My home, the Glass Islands. When Australian Mark Heyward decides to build a home and raise a family on the island of Lombok, east of Bali, he has little idea of what is to come. Riots and battles, mythical princesses, magical voyages, birth and death, love and loss – the story takes us into the heart of Indonesia, a country where Mark has lived on and off for twenty years, but never on an island like this. The call to prayer echoes in the valleys as the sun drops behind the island. The oceans answer to the tug of the moon, the seasons turn, the rains come and go. Some things never change.
