Reading this after watching the series. They have a quite different focus. The movie is having stronger highlight on the said 'gadis kretek', while the book told the story chronologically.
I initially thought this book will be tiring since it timed in the past, but turns out it quite light read i could finish in 1 day. Honestly though, i like the series more since some critical part in the series (e.g. the iconic scene of dasiyah went to radja wedding) turns out to be only a narration in the book.
