Journeys Through Shadows

In Melbourne, Eni, also from Indonesia, becomes Maryati's personal support system. Eni is so successful, so sophisticated, fitting comfortably into the professional community surrounding her lover, Alex and her brother, Simon. Their friendship matures as their circumstances change, Maryati experiences a personal breakdown as her marriage collapses under the weight of Trevor's intransigence. Reunion with her son is the start of her recovery, a full recovery in which she becomes the sophisticated, successful woman of her village. The roles are reversed in the women's friendship as Eni's relationship with Alex leads to her becoming victim of an act of sorcery. It is only through Maryati that she is rescued from the satanic garden into which she has been cast.
