A sweeping novel set against the backdrop of a changing Singapore. The story of a boy with unique abilities and his childhood love, woven into the country's history. Ah Boon was born in a fishing village on the beautiful Singapore shore, at the end of British colonial rule. He was different from other boys from childhood, not interested in fishing, preferring to spend his days playing with the neighbor girl, Syok Mei. One day he discovers that he has a strange ability to find moving islands that no one else can see. As Ah Boon grows up, he realizes that the world of the small fishing village is too small for him, and he dreams of breaking out into the big life. But as Ah Boon and Seok Mei grow up, Singapore is caught in a whirlwind of historical change. The future of the fishing villages is threatened. A love story, a coming-of-age story and the story of the emergence of a country that will begin an amazing rise in a few years.
