The moon shines at the request of my heart
14.99 €
Eva and Tommy Wang are twins whose lives are shattered when their parents disappear. The Wang family has a secret: they can all travel to the past, but one day, another experiment goes wrong.
Having lost both their parents overnight, the brother and sister grow up, finding support in each other, but as the years go by, secrets and omissions begin to hang over them like a black cloud. Eva becomes an artist and tries to establish contact with her long-dead ancestors. Tommy falls in love with a girl in London in 1927, but is love possible if you are separated not only by distance, but also by time?
The debut novel by Thai writer Pim Wantechawat, “The Moon Shines at My Heart’s Request,” is a fascinating, multi-layered novel at the intersection of familiar genres: it is a historical novel that takes us to Hong Kong and London in the mid-20th century, an unusual family saga, and a subtle, lyrical story of love and loss.
