"...a beautifully crafted work of language, land, intelligence, insight, observation and philosophy..." - BookTribAn American expat craving success...A Thai girl scarred by the past...An Aussie searching for his father...A Thai man finding the world passing him by...A failed priest prays and sins and prays again...Each pursues their own dreams--becoming a business owner, fighting alcoholism, searching for a relative, or simply growing up. It is city life in Bangkok as experienced by young Westerners as well as local Thais, all of whom follow their own dreams against the backdrop of a modern and ever-changing city.Combining the mundane and the mystical, the everyday and epic, "There Are Still Unknown Places" is an unforgettable novel for a generation disillusioned by the promises of the world, wanting to search for their destinies in far-off places."There are a lot of books that emulate the feeling of traveling to a new place... yet there are very few books that feel like completely living somewhere else. It is a deeply captivating and enriching sensation, and it makes "There Are Still Unknown Places" all the more special." - Independent Book Review
