Publisher's summary
An intoxicating collage of lives intersecting around a building in Bangkok.
Places remember us....
A missionary begs to be moved from disease-ridden Bangkok.
A musician plays a private show for ghosts.
A student abandoned by his lover bleeds to death in the street.
A plastic surgeon designs a girl a new face.
A woman decides whether to cook a final meal for a dying murderer.
Lurching through decades, from Bangkok's rich past to its imagined, uploaded future, witness the city as it changes from a booming capitalist hub to a city engulfed by water, through human tales seeping into one another, held together by delicate threads.
For fans of A Visit from the Goon Squad and Cloud Atlas, this is a startling and intimate novel by a lyrical new writer.

Bangkok fiction at its best
I would recommend this book to people who like to be drawn to a place or time. Characters are uniquely Thai and although there’s a few twists interns some of the characters are very heartwarming.
It does have a Wi-Fi element and futuristic element which I’m not too keen on but it’s kind of new and experimental innocence…
I loved a few of the characters and the experiment with the development of the characters. Some characters seem bad but then later on you begin to realise they are more complex.

Bangkok coming to life
A fascinating glimpse into the intimate life of a city - past, present, and future - seamlessly flowing into one.
The reading is nuanced, and character portrayal is realistic.
A wonderful introduction to Thai literature.
