Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad

4.0


๐Ÿ“• This story follows the water and flows like water. Generations of people intertwined either by blood or by service evolve as Bangkok evolves first after riots and coups then after rains that wipes away
-
๐Ÿ“—Even the change itself evolves in this story. First it begins with locations - families go from country to country and lose members along the way. Then people change/alter faces to keep up with the competition to the top. After that, bodies start to change as if they are piece of clothing. Lastly, ideas and beliefs start to change. The very things that make or break a person starts to disintegrate

๐Ÿ“˜This was one of the best stories I have read recently where multiple timelines run parallel. Highly recommended debut novel!
