I Want to Go Home

RM38.00 MYR
I Want to Go Home
I Want to Go Home

Heart-wrenching journey of love, loss, and resolution.

"I Want To Go Home" offers more than a profound story of personal tragedy; it's a testament to unwavering devotion that transcends language and borders. Yasuo Takamatsu's relentless pursuit to find his wife in the aftermath of a disaster captures a universal sense of love and determination. Reading this might change your perspective on loss and the lengths one might go to for closure. It's an emotional dive, quite literally, into the depths of the human spirit.

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.
