The book entitled "Daun Yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membenci Angin" is the best novel by Tere Liye. This novel, published in 2018, is one of the most popular of Tere Liye's novels..
The story in this novel tells how the presence of a angel like figure in a family that is experiencing difficulties. The malekat-like figure is Danar. Danar was present when one day a girl and her brother were scavengers on the bus every day and the bus also happened to be often used by Danar after work. Until one time, Danar, who had compassion, intended to buy shoes for them.
The girl's name is Tania and her younger brother who she often calls Dede. Their meeting on the bus with Danar is the beginning of the exciting story in this novel. Tania has had many difficulties in her life since her father died. She dropped out of school because she couldn't afford the fees and her mother was also sickly, so Tania and her sister were forced to drop out of school and decided to go scavenging.
However, Danar's presence in their lives changed drastically. Danar, who is a young worker, entered their lives. His presence is so sincere that Tania's mother considers him as Tania's son or brother.
He paid for their needs and even sent Tania and her sister to school. They became so close that they became part of Tania's family. However, one day Tania's mother died, leaving Tania in grief. From then on, Tania and her sister were taken care of by Danar and Tania even attended school and college in Singapore on a scholarship..
The beginning of all the challenge for Tania was when she heard Danar had a lover. It turned out that Tania really loved Danar not as her brother. Tania had more feelings for Danar. So when she heard from her sister that Danar had a lover and got married she was very disappointed.
On the other hand, it turned out that Danar also had the same feelings but he discouraged his intention because of the huge age difference.Tania and Danar tried to accept fate and reality even though it was very bitter. They live their respective lives even though they are not yet sincere.
•Pros of the book
Has a variety of moral messages that are very deep, the storyline is touching, the strength of the characters in the novel makes this novel very interesting and is able to hook readers because each chapter is very exciting.
-Weaknesses of the book
Can trigger controversy, for example, love that is very far apart in age so that there are many contradictions. And some certain characters or characters, for example Danar's wife, Ratna, lack development.
-Personal Opinion
Apart from its shortcomings, in my opinion, this novel has many positive values for us that sincerity is very important. Never hate people just because of one therapeutic mistake look at how much goodness before. This novel is highly recommended to read.
