Translator's Introduction
Prologue
Letters
Botan (pseud. Supa Sirising) is a native of Bangkok, born of Chinese parents. She has published more than ten novels, most of which reflect women’s and children’s perspectives. Susan Fulop Kepner has been translating Thai literature for more than 30 years, including A Child of the Northeast by Kampoon Boontawee and the anthology A Lioness in Bloom.
"The deft and at times hilarious comedy of these letters lies in
the slow but relentless erosion of Tan Suang U's principles, under
the balmy influence of a sunnier, lazier land."
*The New York Review of Books*
"This is a fascinating book, and I heartily recommend it to all
Westerners who know and love Thailand."
*Bangkok Post Sunday Magazine*
