Ping, the daughter of Chinatown’s Pipa Queen, loves Weng, the voice of the people, but family circumstances drive them apart. While Ping goes to university in America, Weng is sent to prison for his part in local protests.
Many years later, Ping returns to a country transformed by prosperity. Gone are the boatmen and hawkers who once lived along the river. In their place, rise luminous glass and steel towers proclaiming the power of the city-state. Can Ping face her former lover and reveal the secret that has separated them for over thirty years?
A beautifully written exploration of identity, love and loss, set against the social upheaval created by the rise of Singapore.
