The Chronicle of Sei Gohong: A Dayak Village In Kalimantan

Alone in the jungle left to her own devices, Latifah deals with the trials and tribulations of inheriting a haunted house deep in the forest of central Kalimantan, Borneo. We follow her day by day as she recounts her memoirs allowing us a peak in to her world alongside her Dayak helpers.We come to learn that the ghosts she encounters at night seem to be more friendly and true than the humans during the day. In solitude, she begins to have a connection with the birds and the bees, the rats, bats, and chickens too, who seem to fear her wild call and ominous stare. Does Latifah actually exist in human form? Or is she the ghost that haunts the house? Is this forest stuck in another dimension where body and soul are separated like the lives of rich and poor, chickens and rats, scorpions and spiders? Or is she the house herself and we are just all visitors passing by.Lets discover what life is like on the other side of society, where Mother Nature makes the rules and we can either choose to abide and survive or fight and lose. What other choice do we have than to accept our fate and go with the flow, however rough and lonely that road may be. With a large family all at a distance far and wide both physically and mentally, we find Latifah pondering life's biggest questions while making small actions in order to not only remedy life itself but the dream of bringing her family together under this shambled roof. What will it take? What we're reading is just the beginning of a continuous story. The end is near, but not so soon. We only have one option and that's to follow Latifah's chronicles as she deals with this eternal dilemma of time, space, and distance. The only question remaining is whether or not the vegetation that lives and breathes will devour Latifah whole before she can trim away the hedges revealing the lush garden beyond. Stay tuned for The Chronicle of Sei Gohong, A dayak village in Central Kalimantan.
