Description
Set in Singapore during the turbulent decades surrounding World War II and independence, this sweeping historical novel follows Ah Boon, a young man whose life is shaped by family, friendship, love, and a rapidly transforming homeland. As the island’s shores are redrawn through ambitious reclamation projects, Ah Boon must navigate shifting loyalties and the forces of colonialism, modernity, and social change. Richly atmospheric and deeply rooted in Singapore’s history, the novel explores belonging, memory, ambition, and the human cost of progress. With lyrical prose and an expansive sense of place, it offers an intimate portrait of one man—and one nation—coming of age.
