Day 10: A book that reminds you of home

Logically, it should be a book about something very close to my real life. But somehow, the only title I could think of is a classic Indonesian novel Para Priyayi by Umar Kayam (translated into english as Javanese Gentry). It was a historical piece quite far removed from my own life, but it was also the only book that reminded me strongly of all the tales my parents used to regale me about their childhood. It was a story about middle-class family from East Java and their evolving dynamic as time changes, and it’s a sharp resemblance to the differing eras between me and my parents.
