SYNOPSIS OF MARYAMAH KARPOV NOVEL
Andrea Hirata is very proper to be given many thumbs because of his professionally in writing novels (Tetralogy Rainbow Troops). One of the novels is Maryamah Karpov. My first impression after reading is that Andrea Hirata is very eligible to be one of the best authors. In Maryamah Kapov, he told Ikal (himself) when he completed his thesis in Sorbonne University until his life after a year graduate from his study. His typical style in delivering the story makes the reader curious about the plot of the story.
