📝 SYNOPSIS:

"A hauntingly beautiful collection that captures the quiet grief and secret wonder of a changing homeland."

Eternal Summer of My Homeland is the debut fiction collection from award-winning author Agnes Chew. Through a series of keenly observed stories, Chew explores the tension between duty and desire, and the sacrifices we make to find a sense of belonging.

Set against the familiar landscapes of Singapore—from the sterile glow of Changi Airport to the disappearing patches of forest—the stories delve into:

• The Weight of Secrets: An adolescent and a domestic worker share a burden they cannot speak aloud.

• Family Fractures: A daughter discovers an unexpected truth following her mother's passing.

• Identity in Transition: Characters striving to find meaning in a city that is constantly reinventing itself.

Chew’s prose is empathetic and unpretentious, illuminating the complexities of class, urban development, and human connection. This is a collection to be savored by anyone who has ever felt like a stranger in their own home.
