The author wanders through memories of a Singapore upbringing by visiting well known and "lost" locations, which evoke both past experiences and present day emotions. The result is an unusual drifting account of a Singapore quite unlike anyone else's. The black-and-white photographs also induce misty dreams. Perhaps surprisingly, maps are included, as is a bibliography and an index.
