Description

Adam's search for his past takes him to the vibrant and treacherous world of 1960s Indonesia. Orphaned three times over, he sets out to find Karl, the Dutch man who raised him, guided only by old photos and letters. As Adam navigates the colourful capital city of Jakarta, a seemingly carefree life in Malaysia is hiding a darker truth for his older brother, Johan. Tash Aw's masterful novel weaves together the threads of family, identity, and loyalty, creating a rich tapestry of a world both exotic and turbulent. With its complex characters and intricate plot, 'Map of the Invisible World' is a gripping and thought-provoking read that confirms Tash Aw as one of the most exciting young writers at work today. With its unique blend of historical and literary fiction, this novel is ideal for readers who enjoy complex, character-driven stories with a strong sense of place.
