"Stunning…epic…impressive…It is a pleasure to simply live alongside these characters.”—The New York Times "A deep and powerful love story."—NBC The Today Show "A beautifully written novel. I loved so much in this book: the richly imagined setting, the complicated love story, and the heartbreaking way history can tear apart a family." —Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful Set against a changing Singapore, a sweeping novel about one boy’s unique gifts and the childhood love that will complicate the fate of his community and country Ah Boon is born into a fishing village amid the heat and beauty of twentieth-century coastal Singapore in the waning years of British rule. He is a gentle boy who is not much interested in fishing, preferring to spend his days playing with the neighbor girl, Siok Mei. But when he discovers he has the unique ability to locate bountiful, movable islands that no one else can find, he feels a new sense of obligation and possibility—something to offer the community and impress the spirited girl he has come to love. By the time they are teens, Ah Boon and Siok Mei are caught in the tragic sweep of history: the Japanese army invades, the resistance rises, grief intrudes, and the future of the fishing village is in jeopardy. As the nation hurtles toward rebirth, the two friends, newly empowered, must decide who they want to be, and what they are willing to give up. An aching love story and powerful coming-of-age that reckons with the legacy of British colonialism, the World War II Japanese occupation, and the pursuit of modernity, The Great Reclamation confronts the wounds of progress, the sacrifices of love, and the difficulty of defining home when nature and nation collide, literally shifting the land beneath people’s feet.

Summary : Un ragazzo speciale. Un mondo che non fa sconti. Il potere salvifico dei sogni. La famiglia di Ah Boon vive sulla costa, a Singapore, e come tutte le altre ha un unico mezzo di sostentamento: la pesca. È la tradizione, è la cultura della sua gente. Peccato che Ah Boon non sia per nulla portato per la pesca e preferisca passare il tempo a giocare con Siok Mei, l'amica del cuore. Almeno fino a quando, un giorno come gli altri, esce in barca, vede qualcosa che non dovrebbe vedere, e si accorge di avere una capacità unica nel suo genere. Ah Boon può scoprire isole con il solo istinto, senza alcun mezzo tecnologico. Purtroppo, però, la Storia si mette spesso in mezzo ai nostri sogni. Proprio quando l'impero britannico stava allentando il suo dominio, su Singapore si abbatte il peggiore degli incubi: lo scoppio della Seconda guerra mondiale, l'invasione giapponese. E la vita di Ah Boon, di Siok Mei e di tutti quanti non può che esserne travolta. Anche se la speranza è sempre riposta nelle persone comuni e spesso occorre il coraggio di mostrarsi impavidi proprio nelle situazioni peggiori. Questa è una dolorosa storia d'amore e il racconto di un avvenire instabile, messo a rischio dai grandi eventi della Seconda guerra mondiale. Un frangente di scelte difficili e prove impossibili, da cui rinascere a nuova vita.
