Book Title: New Heart Piece Author: Tere Liye Publisher: Republika Length: 204 Pages Year of Publication: 2012 New Heart Piece is sort of a sequel of a previous collection of short stories entitled Millions feels. This book contains eight short stories with a theme similar to the previous short story collection: everything that is associated with feelings of love. Compared to Millions It contains 15 different stories, this book presents a number of stories of fewer - therefore every story has a chance to dig deeper. There are also several stories in this book are character issues have been raised in Millions felt - albeit with a different story and not sustainable. From 8 story in the New Piece of Heart, I'll discuss some of the story so that I think I can not read Millions know roughly what the contents. The first story, entitled 'sob, I thought it was real'. In Millions of books seemed, had written a similar story: a simple love story that might occur in our daily lives. This story was brought to light and cheerful, according to the younger character. Its theme might be guessed from the title itself, which is about a girl who 'feel' the man replied that he liked his feelings - but it all just felt alone. Through the story, young people like 'warned' to not only see what we want to see - but should be wide-eyed look at the reality. One of the most unique in this book is the story entitled "Itje Noerbaja & Kang Djalil". Honestly, this story takes the most time to spent, not because of the complicated story - but because writing using the old spelling. Of course, this is the first time I read a story written by the old spelling. Writing style is adapted to the setting of the story, when the pre-independence Indonesia. Although I did not discuss the plot of this one, the story Itje and Djalil has burned into my memory. Overall, I really enjoyed every story in this book - although, as I have repeatedly written, that I am not a lover of short stories. Each story managed to convey a different message, giving the meaning of love. This book may be appropriate for the mood to read a lot of short stories about a love story.
