Rate this book
Millo, Dwayne, King. Seorang pelukis mimpi, mahasiswi filsafat pecinta jendela, dan pemilik perkebunan wine yang kerap menyimpan harapan. Sebuah hubungan persahabatan yang rumit diantara mereka telah terjalin, dan harus dihadapkan pada sebuah kenyataan: cinta yang terselubung. Bukan salah siapa-siapa, bukan kemauan siapa-siapa. Keadaanlah yang memungkinkannya. Tapi siapa sangka, akibat dari perasaan-perasaan yang terus terpendam, telah lahir hubungan percintaan antara Dwayne dan Millo yang hanya bisa terjalin lewat dunia mimpi. Dan dari setiap pertemuan di dunia bawah sadar itu, sebuah lukisan diciptakan untuk menjadi bukti pengingat. Bahwa setiap mimpi harus direkam. Setiap kenangan harus diabadikan.

"Turiya" bercerita tentang sebuah penggalan perjalanan hidup, sebuah fase menyenangkan sekaligus menyedihkan yang harus dilewati oleh Millo, Dwayne, dan King bersama-sama. Membaca kisah ini, pada akhirnya, akan menghadapkan kita pada sebuah pertanyaan sederhana, "Pernahkah kita mengalami kebahagiaan semu?"

About the author

Maradilla Syachridar

8 books41 followers
"The cut of a garment speaks of the colour of artistic temperament." Her adaptation of that famous Thomas Carlyle quote probably best describes Maradilla Syachridar, whose outlook on life strives to expand everyone's perspective. This open-minded, eager observer has a voracious curiosity, especially when it comes to literature and left-field music.

Maradilla published her debut novel "Ketika Daun Bercerita" in 2008, with the follow-up "Turiya" in 2011. In 2012, she has contributed a short story to the Seno Gumira Ajidarma tribute anthology "Perkara Mengirim Senja", and another anthology pieces, "Menujuh", "Memoritmo". Due to her love of music that is a constant companion during the creative process, Maradilla also lends her talents as a backing vocalist, synthesizer player and songwriter to the electronic pop collective Homogenic.

As a result, music and literature becomes the embodiment of a modern and contemporary personality that channels the creative impulses that emanate directly from Maradilla's soul. She dreams of one day combining all those elements into a cohesive work of performance art.

There's a lot on Maradilla's plate, then. But what else would you expect from someone whose personal mantra is "I'm against living in status quo"?
