Synopsis "Seabird"

"Kadarusman beautifully brings Kartini to life with clarity and empathy in a story that's educational without being preachy and is a superb pick for readers interested in history and activism." --Kirkus ReviewsInspired by the true story of a nineteenth century feminist. Seabird follows Kartini's early teen years as a young noble girl. Confined to the family home in preparation for an arranged marriage, Kartini's desire for freedom ignites as she fights to have a say in the decisions that shape her life.In late nineteenth century Indonesia --then known as the Dutch East Indies--a Javanese girl from a noble family is confined to her home before her thirteenth birthday, where she must remain until she is married.Removed from school and the outside world, Kartini writes to her former Dutch schoolmate, Lesty, who has returned to the Netherlands. With Lesty's support Kartini begins to challenge the role expected of her, and that of girls and women in her community. Determined to gain her freedom, Kartini bravely battles prejudice and tradition stirring change for her family, and for her country.Governor General's Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman shows us that no matter how powerless you feel, your voice can have great impact. By virtue of writing down your dreams and ideas, you can inspire generations to come, as Kartini continues to do through Kartini Day in Indonesia.
