He is a gentle boy who is not much interested in fishing, preferring to spend his days playing with the neighbor girl, Siok Mei. But when he discovers he has the unique ability to locate bountiful, movable islands that no one else can find, he feels a new sense of obligation and possibility-something to offer the community and impress the spirited girl he has come to love.\n\nBy the time they are teens, Ah Boon and Siok Mei are caught in the tragic sweep of history: the Japanese army invades, the resistance rises, grief intrudes, and the future of the fishing village is in jeopardy. As the nation hurtles toward rebirth, the two friends, newly empowered, must decide who they want to be, and what they are willing to give up.\n\nAn aching love story and powerful coming-of-age that reckons with the legacy of British colonialism, the World War II Japanese occupation, and the pursuit of modernity, The Great Reclamation confronts the wounds of progress, the sacrifices of love, and the difficulty of defining home when nature and nation collide, literally shifting the land beneath people's feet.","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43464091762895,"sku":"9780593420126","price":19.23,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_a6b9fc07-509f-4555-b89a-902ac1a3d6da.png?v=1749087025"},{"product_id":"true-singapore-ghost-stories-25","title":"True Singapore Ghost Stories Book 25","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRID YOUR HOME OF EVIL!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nAre you worried evil spirits lurk in your home? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRussell Lee reveals the many religious rituals used to “cleanse” homes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso read about “The Cat Man”, the saviour of thousands of cats. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cats repay their hero in the most unusual way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOUCHSTONE DISTRIBUTORS PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227929309391,"sku":"9789814315814","price":9.06,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_36f31e6b-2745-45ff-9bb3-f16363c8f20b.jpg?v=1766375545"},{"product_id":"true-singapore-ghost-stories-5","title":"True Singapore Ghost Stories Book 5","description":"BLOOD and the VAMPIRE\n\nRussell Lee explores the use of blood in occult practices and uncovers the real story behind the Vampire legend.
