This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Ex-library hardcover from a rummage sale at Honpa Hongwanji. (Larger photo here - after following link, click on image to zoom.)

The author grew up in Singapore and now lives in the US, which means she should have a good idea what it would be like for a woman to return to Singapore after living in America for 15 years.

(I couldn't get into this, but maybe someone else will! I do like the cover art, though...)

Headed out in AlterEgoZoe's Asian/Far East Bookbox; released for DragonGoddess's Tick Tock challenge and solittletime's Spook-tacular Halloween challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let the book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Received this in the Asian bookbox. Looking forward to it!

started this, and just hated the writing, so am passing it along to someone who's more in the mood.

Came home in the far east bookbox.
