The Angel of Changi & Other Short Stories

by Goh Sin Tub
The Angel of Changi & Other Short Stories
The Angel of Changi & Other Short Stories

Singaporean spirit distilled in heartfelt short tales.

"The Angel of Changi & Other Short Stories" might just offer you a new perspective on the quiet heroism that pulses through everyday life in Singapore. Goh Sin Tub weaves a tapestry of emotions across these stories that's as diverse as it is touching. The poignant storytelling and rich cultural insights make this a compelling read for anyone fascinated by the resilience and unsung heroes of Singapore's past and present.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This collection of 65 short stories is Goh Sin Tub's finest. The very first account, “The Angel of Changi”, unveils a Singapore war heroine most Singaporeans haven’t even heard about — yet she's been honoured in Australia. And as you read on, you'll discover the quintessential Sin His vignettes may be touching, funny, serious, tragic or triumphant, but they all salute the understated, heroic Singaporean spirit.
