An Animated Excerpt from The Great Reclamation by Rachel Heng
Check out this animated excerpt from Rachel Heng's latest novel, THE GREAT RECLAMATION.
Set against a changing Singapore of the 20th century, THE GREAT RECLAMATION follows the story of Ah Book and Siok Mei, two children born into a Singaporean finishing village. As the nation hurtles toward rebirth and the two grow older, they must decide who they want to be, and what they are willing to give up.
An aching love story and powerful coming-of-age that reckons with the legacy of British colonialism, the World War II Japanese occupation, and the pursuit of modernity, THE GREAT RECLAMATION confronts the wounds of progress, the sacrifices of love, and the difficulty of defining home when nature and nation collide, literally shifting the land beneath people’s feet.
“Stunning…epic…impressive…It is a pleasure to simply live alongside these characters.” —@nytimes
