"If we've no chance to take the distance from crowded 'messy' world, this book might be a spacecraft to find the silence and to contemplate rediscovering the answer for the questions and essential demand about life. We thank to writer who has lit up the light brightening the world and guiding the readers to track the empirical trace of her real experiences ridden of persistent struggle," BUTET KARTAREDJASA, AN ACTOR.
Giharu berusaha mempertahankan perkawinannya mati-matian dengan Squal, orang yang tidak ia cintai, demi cinta yang lebih besar; Oracle, anaknya dan nilai yang terlanjur diyakininya.
Squal; suaminya terus memberikan tegangan setiap hari, menebarkan 'api' yang tidak pernah kecil atas nama cinta kembali. Oracle setelah dewasa mulai mencari tahu atas dasar apa dia lahir di dunia ini? Selain cinta, adakah yang lebih besar?
Sebenarnya tidak ada yang ingin disembunyikan Giharu, tetapi waktulah yang menghalangi. Sebelum Oracle beranjak dewasa, Giharu bukan saja cepat tua, namun meyakini dirinya akan mati sebelum anaknya mengerti alasan dibalik keputusan yang diambilnya. Giharu kalang-kabut-dilema, perlu tidak perlu memberitahunya.
Bersama gunung-gemunung, mengurai satu per satu kekusutan yang ditimbulkan dari konsepsi atas persepsi yang diyakininya-bagaikan merekonstruksi sebuah mobil tua, mencopot semua onderdilnya-mencari pembebasan jiwanya atas cita-cita lama yang ingin ia kejar kembali.
Alasan yah..alasan. Menemukan kenyataan anaknya berkorban terlalu banyak untuk cita-cita yang tidak dimengertinya adalah cambuk bagi Giharu.
Yum telah mengikrarkan diri mengikuti Giharu se-panjang hayatnya. Yum, perempuan dan manusia lereng adalah sisa-sisa wajah modernitas Giharu yang sedang ia berusaha lebur kedalam cita-citanya.

The simple element altogether with the complicated component are found in her. When it is hard to recognize Giharu, you might look at Sindoro. She is so tender, but there is a great intensity within her bottom heart. And she only wishes that you are able to catch her thoughts and dreams which wriggled upon the crater in wrapped by the cloud."
