The mesmerising, emotional and absorbing multi-generational literary novel for 2026
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Natalie Gregory, like her protagonist, had a Thai mother. It was the accidental disposal of Natalie’s mother’s recipes, shortly after her mother passed away, which eventually inspired the novel’s inciting incident. With a BA in English and History and an MSc in International Politics, Natalie has made a career out of writing for others, including as a speechwriter, but her passion has always been fiction. Her short story, ‘A Bowl of Soup’, was published in Together in the UK’s anthology, Hear our Stories by Victorina Press in August 2023. This story also won the Creative Writing NZ flash fiction competition and was shortlisted for the Exeter Short Story Prize. Natalie lives in Buckinghamshire.

In the days that follow, grief makes everything strange: her mothers recipes have vanished, replaced by a political leaflet Lin does not understand, and rumours of a ghost begin to pull her deeper into the past. As Lin begins to search for the woman her mother once was, she is drawn into a buried history stretching back to 1970s Thailand a history of idealism, violence, betrayal and loss.

This is an unforgettable read' Fauzia Musa, The Strangling Fig **** A single thread can unravel a web of secrets . Lin returns from England to Bangkok to care for her dying mother. In the city, pro-democracy protestors clash with the military government and ambitious new king. And among all this, Lin's mother dies. Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother's favourite dish, but her mother's recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers. As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past. ****.
