I love to learn about places I haven't been. At the moment I'm about to finish Aunty Lee's Delights, A Singaporean Mystery by Ovidia Yu which gives a sense of Singapore's idiosyncrasies. The culture and the variety of people who have settled there are a big part of the story. I'll be giving away 2 copies of the book.

What I like very much indeed is its sense of atmosphere. No matter where the novels are set, you get a sense of place. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
