In the third book of the Laskar Pelangi series, Ikal and his cousin Arai, two young Malays from Belitung, win scholarships to France. Europe hits them with one culture shock after another, its habits and manners utterly unlike anything they knew as Indonesians and Malays. Wandering across the continent, they keep paying for the pranks and mischief of their childhood and youth, and their journey through Europe brings them moments that are astonishing, frightening, hilarious and heartbreaking by turns.
