Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad
3.0
3.4 stars rounded down to 3.
I'm on the fence about this book. It was strange and I was invested but I am not sure if I can say I liked it.
Having lived in Bangkok for 4 years in the 2010s, I was nostalgic for the writing when it took place in modern times and the past.
But this story. jumped around narrators and timelines in an extreme fashion. From the 1950s to some nebulous time in the future when Bangkok is entirely underwater. The main characters were all very flawed and selfish. I'm just not sure .
