A spellbinding literary debut set in Malaysia exploring family relationships, love and war
Mary is a difficult grandmother for Durga to love. Sharp-tongued and ferocious, Durga hopes simply to endure her and the memories of her past when she visits rural Malaysia. But when a reckoning comes, both women find they must unravel generations of secrets. What happened to Durga’s mother? Why did so many of their family members disappear during the war? And who is to blame for the childhood tragedy that haunts Durga to this day?
Tracing one family’s story from 1920 to the present, Fragile Monsters is a thrilling tale of love, family and betrayal set against the backdrop of natural disasters and fallen empires.
