Reviews
Praise for The Great Reclamation : "[A] story scaffolded against a sweeping backdrop--the politics of colonialism, World War II in Southeast Asia, ecology, the inexorable forces of development and modernization--with very little of that ever mentioned, instead focusing on the experiences of the characters in language of perfect simplicity. . .Like a drop of rain that holds the reflection of the world, crystalline and beautiful." --Kirkus, STARRED review "A gorgeous novel about love, fate, free-will, and how, in wartime, one person''s choices can have long-lasting consequences. The Great Reclamation is as sweeping as it is specific. Ah Boon''s story will stay with me for a long time." -Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept "Gorgeously written and compulsively readable, The Great Reclamation is both an intimate love story and an epic historical tale that is sure to be read for years to come. Heng''s writing is full of rich, sensuous detail--mysteriously appearing islands, the smell of rain on hot monsoon evenings, the fierce burn of a rubber seed when pressed against the skin--that mesmerizes on every page. She deals with difficult questions--who, and what, are we willing to sacrifice in the name of progress?--while never losing sight of the complex humanity of her characters."-- Julie Otsuka, author of The Buddha in the Attic " The Great Reclamation is an extraordinary achievement - an epic love story set in a world at war within and without itself. Every page pulses with mud and magic. I loved it." -- Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace "Through the story of one remarkable boy, Rachel Heng''s breathtaking epic of 20th century Singapore shows us the human and environmental costs of a nation''s quest for freedom, prosperity, and order. Told with great tenderness and moral clarity, and alive to the beauty and mystery of the natural world as well as the human heart, The Great Reclamation is timeless, timely, and unforgettable." -- Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers " The Great Reclamation is a beautifully written novel. I loved so much in this book: the richly imagined setting, the varied languages and motivations at play in this burgeoning country, the complicated love story between Lee Ah Boon and Siok Mei, and the heartbreaking way history can tear apart a family. I''m grateful to Rachel Heng for writing this gorgeous novel." --Ann Napolitano, author of Dear Edward " The Great Reclamation is so beautifully written and perfectly imagined that you follow its characters out to sea, through city streets, into the corners of villages, through every strange quirk of life, until they get under your skin and into your dreams. How does Rachel Heng write about the imaginary and the historical in a way that they are both equally believable and moving and strange? I don''t know how she does, it but this book is a marvel."-- Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway " The Great Reclamation is a truly wondrous book. In telling the story of one country confronting the forces of change, one community caught between the pain and the promise of transformation, and one young man who must decide whether to live in the past or give it all up for a chance at a different future, Rachel Heng has written one of the most extraordinary novels I have read in some time." --Cristina Henriquez, author of The Book of Unknown Americans "A monumental epic. A story of an entire nation reckoning with its past combined with a heart-wrenching love story. This one shouldn''t be missed. I was spellbound." --Nathan Harris, author of The Sweetness of Water "Arresting and haunting.... Rachel Heng asks us to consider the tensions between homeland and nationhood, and whether progress can be made without sacrifice. This is a powerful, expansive book that made my heart ache. It will stay with me for a long time." -- Crystal Hana Kim, author of If You Leave Me, Praise for The Great Reclamation : "A gorgeous novel about love, fate, free-will, and how, in wartime, one person's choices can have long-lasting consequences.

Synopsis
WINNER OF THE NEW AMERICAN VOICES AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE AND THE JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME , TOWN & COUNTRY , KIRKUS, ELECTRIC LITERATURE AND BOOKPAGE ! "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.
