Description
A family’s story unfolds in the liminal space of a pier—where arrivals and departures blur into memory, and private histories surface in unexpected ways. Through intimate, character-driven scenes, the book follows relationships shaped by migration, belonging, and the quiet negotiations of love, duty, and survival. As the past presses against the present, strangers become mirrors, revealing how identity is formed not only by where we come from, but by what we choose to carry forward. With Tash Aw’s lyrical, observant style and a keen eye for emotional nuance, this portrait moves between tenderness and tension, offering a resonant meditation on family as both refuge and reckoning.
