Sarong Secrets 2023
Sarong Secrets 2023 | Lee Su Kim
1 post | 1 read
Pure reading pleasure from start to finish … bitter-sweet, light and delicate as the kebaya, spiced with the tang of sambal belachan. From the author of the award-winning bestseller Kebaya Tales comes yet another amazing collection featuring the colourful world of the babas and nyonyas. In Sarong Secrets, Su Kim tells more tales of passion and unfulfilled love, of innocence lost, greed and betrayal, of loneliness and the search for a sense of belonging – all of which harken to the unique Peranakan culture, a heritage teetering on the brink of extinction. Filled with humour, wit and vivid details, her compelling stories will delight and excite. Includes a colour section of beautiful sarongs, accessories and artifacts from a unique community renowned for its love of colour and sumptuous material culture.

Interestingly this book consists of 12 short stories about baba nyonya heritage in fiction. I‘ve enjoyed them, slowly reading them though there are a couple I didn‘t get it. I liked the many educational coloured pics of the heritage like sarong, tiffin and more. It is an easy read so give it a try if you like cultural type of books. I‘ve rated it 3/5.
