Thoroughly enjoyed this charming and surreal novel set in a small Perak town. The writing is beautiful, the characters deliciously quirky, and many of the episodes had me laughing out loud. Puts its finger on the pulse of Malaysian politics and social issues in a lighthearted way. For sure one of the finest Malaysian novels and a must-read for anyone interested I local literature.
