The spice garden
In a remote corner of Indonesia’s fabled Spice Islands, Muslims and Christians have lived peacefully together for centuries. But for all their isolation and tranquility, the islanders are threatened by a gathering storm; as Indonesia is wracked by violent change, long-maintained religious harmony is unravelling and on nearby islands, Christians and Muslims fall upon one another in horrific bouts of killing and forced conversions. The burden falls on a priest and a wealthy Muslim merchant to save the community from a cycle of violence that threatens the pillars of their respective faith and customs.
This tale, based on true accounts of the religious violence that has erupted in the Maluku archipelago since 1999, explores the motives and effects of Islamic militancy as it clashes with a strong Christian community in a new era of religious conflict that afflicts the world today.
