while this book is about a son—malik—losing his father, it also ends with a heartbreaking reminder that a mother loses her husband too. the ending was painful because i don’t think that’s included when i read Surat Untuk Azazil (the original shorter version of Pada Masa Yang Terhenti, which is no longer published).

just like the author has mentioned when i met him at PBAKL 2024, PMYT is relatively relaxed and slow-paced (since i’ve read SUA). but if you’ve never read SUA, i think you’ll cry and hug this book close to your chest. or hug your father.

this is a book you should read.
