Ah Boon is born into a fishing village amid the heat and beauty of 20th century coastal Singapore in the waning years of British rule. He is a gentle boy who is not much interested in fishing, preferring to spend his days playing with the neighbor girl, Siok Mei. But by the time they are teens, Ah Boon and Siok Mei are caught in the tragic sweep of history ... An aching love story and powerful coming-of-age from the author of "The Suicide Club".
