Step into Singapore’s vibrant past with The Great Reclamation. This captivating novel blends the innocence of childhood romance with the complexities of a nation in flux. In a sun-drenched coastal village, Ah Boon, a gentle boy who yearns for adventure, discovers a unique talent: locating magical, movable islands teeming with life.
As Ah Boon navigates his childhood and a blossoming love for the spirited Siok Mei, their world experiences dramatic change. The fading grip of British rule gives way to the harsh realities of the Japanese occupation, testing the strength of their love and the resilience of their community.
Prepare to be swept away by this unforgettable tale of magic, love, and the unyielding spirit of a nation reborn.
