Jam sembilan pagi, kebaya, dan ruangan yang penuh pepat. … Ada pengantin gugup, tamu-tamu bersemangat; dan rumah tua di tengah-tengah Jakarta menjadi saksi terciptanya keluarga baru. 5 tahun sejak pertama bertemu sudah berlalu. Bulan Januari ini, ada anak yang kabur, diary yang dibongkar, rahasia yang dibagi, dan pernikahan. Sekali lagi menelusuri kota dalam ingatan, kali ini Emina mengunjungi tempat-tempat lama di tengah kemacetan, di bawah matahari, berdampingan dengan kenangan sendiri.

"Leila bercerita tentang kejujuran, keyakinan, tekad, prinsip dan pengorbanan...Banyak idiom dan metafor baru di samping padangan falsafi yang terasa baru karena pengungkapan yang baru. Sekalipun bermain dalam khayalan lukisan-lukisannya sangat kasat mata." H.B.Jassin, pengantar Malam Terakhir Edisi Pertama. "Dalam cerpen 'Air Suci Sita', ditulis di Jakarta 1987, Leila memulai ceritanya dengan kalimat:'Tiba-tiba saja malam menabraknya.' Sebuah kalimat padat yang sugestif dan kental...Dengan thnik bercerita yang menarik, Leila berhasil mengangkat gugatan mengapa hanya kesetiaan wanita yang dipersoalkan, bagaimana dengan kesucian para pria? (...) Sebagaimana awal dari perjalanan panjang Leila sebagai salah seorang penulis di masa depan, kumpulan ini penuh janji." Putu Wijaya, Tempo, Februari 1990.

We forgive murderers, not pedophiles. Not since Lionel Shriver brought us We Need to Talk About Kevin has a writer delved into the complexities of a disturbed mother/son relationship. Until now. Meet Noah—an A-honor roll student, award-winning swimmer, and small-town star destined for greatness. There weren’t any signs that something was wrong until the day he confesses to molesting little girls during swim team practice. He’s sentenced to eighteen months in a juvenile sexual rehabilitation center. His mother, Adrianne, refuses to turn her back on him despite his horrific crimes, but her husband won’t allow Noah back into their home. In a series of shocking and shattering revelations, Adrianne is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Just how far will she go to protect her son? Saving Noah challenges everything you think you know about teenage sexual offenders. It will keep you up at night long after you've read the last page, questioning beliefs you once thought were true.

Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.
