| book description |

This collection of 25 stories were written with a fondness for Singapore and its people. The author draws from her childhood years growing up in 1970s Singapore, and all these years later, there isn’t a day when she does not recall a place, event, person or object from that time in her life. She was inspired by Catherine Lim who has the ability to create wonderful characters that gets to the very core of Singapore life. Her other inspiration was New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield who is recognised for modernising the short story in its current literary form. Though written by an outsider – this collection, like those previously published and those yet to be written, add to the melting pot of Singapore literature.
