sara_ellen 's review for:

Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad
3.0

I really struggled to get through this book. Never really felt a story line or really anything carrying me on as I read. It’s probably just my reading likes/ style but I really struggled to keep characters and story lines straight. And I never quite understood how they all fit together. I do appreciate this book for its cultural richness and its attempt to address the broad history of Bangkok (perhaps too broad though?), but beyond that I struggled with it.
