Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 Readers’ Favourite for EnglishFrom the Soviet Union’s lron Curtain to Burma’s Bamboo Curtain and Sikkim to Seoul, this memoir follows the journey of a young girl whose life was a cross-continental rollercoaster ride that soared and plunged from one country to another.
