Beauty Is a Wound by Eka Kurniawan

challenging mysterious tense slow-paced

3.5

I would describe this as One Hundred Years of Solitude, set in Indonesia. I can see it being inspired by that kind of story, there are several parallels. 

I found the political parts of the story quite interesting, which I'm sure is based on reality.

The story however is plagued with rape, violence and incestuous tendencies, which made it a bit challenging to get through.
