Sharlene Teo reads from and discusses her celebrated debut novel, Ponti.
“Told from the perspectives of three women, Ponti by Sharlene Teo is an exquisite story of friendship and memory spanning decades. Infused with mythology and modernity, with the rich sticky heat of Singapore, it is at once an astounding portrayal of the gaping loneliness of teenagehood, and a vivid exploration of how tragedy can make monsters of us.”
’Remarkable . . . her characters glow with life and humour’ – Ian McEwan.
