Description
“Fantastic doesn’t begin to describe this wildly inventive and deeply moving novel. Lundberg is at his absolute best. Not to be missed for any reason.” –Junot Díaz
What do you hold onto when the world keeps transforming around you?
Two years after her husband’s death, Leia Ooi is juggling parenthood, an ageing father, and a mother who has literally transformed into a two-toed sloth. Trapped between caregiving and abandoned ambitions, Leia feels herself slowly disappearing beneath the weight of grief and responsibility.
But as Singapore prepares to celebrate its ninetieth birthday, a mysterious new epidemic reignites old fears. When an impulsive action forces Leia and her mother to flee the authorities, an impossible journey compels her to confront the pain she has long buried. As reality begins to blur with the uncanny, Leia must decide what, and who, is still worth fighting for.
Warm, witty, and utterly unforgettable, Languishing Under Glass is a deeply human novel about grief, family, and finding hope in a world that refuses to stand still.
