Darkness Falls in Jakarta
The death of Claire's parents triggers troubled memories of her past life in Jakarta, a time that Claire has been running away from her whole life.
Haunted by guilt and the terrible misunderstandings and accusations that forced her to leave the city as a teenager, she decides to travel back in the hope of finding answers and perhaps forgiveness. Is confronting her past the key to her deliverance?
Beautifully written, with sumptuous and enchanting descriptions of Indonesia, this is a novel that completely transports you to specific time and place and perfectly portrays that shared sense of guilt in all of us about mistakes or inactions of the past.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
