    About this ebook

    In 1970s Thailand, three young people meet each other with fateful results.

    Det has just lost his mother, the granddaughter of a king. He clings to his best friend Chang, a smart boy from the slums, as they go to college; while there, Det falls for Lek, a Chinese immigrant with radical ideals. Longing for glory, Det journeys into his friends' political circles, and then into the Thai jungle to fight. During Thailand's most famous period of political and artistic openness, these three friends must reconcile their deep feelings for one another with the realities of perilous political revolution.
