'An intimate love story and an epic historical tale that is sure to

the Attic 'Ah Boon's story will stay with me for a long time' Lara
Prescott, author of The Secrets We Kept On a quiet moonlit night,
Ah Boon, young and terrified, takes his first trip out to sea in
his father's fishing boat - a rite of passage for the boys of the
kampong village. As the air hums and the wind howls across the
waves, a mysterious, impossible island materialises in the
darkness; an island, bountiful with fish, that Ah Boon soon learns
only he has the ability to find. But this is only the beginning of
the story, and as Ah Boon grows up, alongside Siok Mei, the
spirited girl he has fallen in love with, he finds himself caught
in the tragic sweep of Singapore's history. When the Japanese army
invades, the resistance rises, and their small nation hurtles
towards rebirth, the kampong and the impossible islands that
surround it are thrown into jeopardy, and the two friends must
decide who they will become - and what they are willing to give up.
