This book truly gives a look into Bangkok over generations while also offering narratives on forgiveness, suffering, familial connections, and how people are all linked together. I will give a warning that this book spans a lot of different perspectives and can be quite slow because it really does present itself at first as mostly short stories, so keep that in mind.
