Bangkok Wakes to Rain
Bangkok Wakes to Rain | Pitchaya Sudbantha
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
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.

I just finished watching Bohemian Rhapsody (and crying from it 😭) and now I‘m getting back to my IRL book club pick. Has anyone else read this? So many points of view - it can be kinda confusing keeping track.

Cinfhen Never heard of this book before...I‘m intrigued 5y
