Description

A heartbreaking yet hopeful story about memory, trauma, and ultimately love, How We Disappeared is a beautiful tale of endurance, identity, and memory set against the backdrop of WWII Singapore.

When Japanese troops invaded Malaysia and Singapore, a village was ransacked, leaving only three survivors. Seventeen-year-old Wang Di was among them, and her experiences in a Japanese military rape camp have haunted her for decades. Now, in the year 2000, she has long been silent about her memories, but they continue to shape her life.

A journey of discovery begins when a young boy overhears a mumbled confession from his ailing grandmother, setting in motion a search for the truth about Wang Di's past and the secrets she has kept hidden for so long.
