- Synopsis
-
Newbie travels to Indonesia to forget his past life. His girlfriend has died and he wants no more painful reminders, no more memories, no more missing her.
The trouble is she has followed him there. Club-land bosses, prostitutes, shaman, damaged expats, he meets them all and they all have an effect on his 'new' self. And so do the local mushrooms, the jungle grass, and the dead girlfriend who turns up when she pleases. His girlfriend believed that time isn't linear, that the past is still there, waiting to be found again. Newbie starts to wonder if she was right. The story moves between the culturally diverse, sometimes maddening, but always beautiful island of Sumatra in Indonesia, and a small seaside town in England, where Newbie and Laura first meet. A story of travel, loss, split personalities and ghosts. All mixed in with a little shaman magic, time-bending, and the best coffee in the world.
