Synopsis
From the author of the internationally acclaimed The Harmony Silk Factory comes an enthralling novel that evokes an exotic yet turbulent place and time--1960s Indonesia during President Sukarno's drive to purge the country of its colonial past. A page-turning story, Map of the Invisible World follows the journeys of two brothers and an American woman who are indelibly marked by the past--and swept up in the tides of history.

Review
"Reminiscent of Graham Greene . . . powerful and mesmerizing . . . haunting and memorable."--The Guardian (U.K.)
"Full of immense intelligence and empathy."--Time "Beautifully written . . . The tension of the lives of Aw's characters, the frayed fabric of Jakarta . . . the dichotomies of beauty and squalor, the mobs, the menace, the impending crisis--all of this is captured in Map of the Invisible World with a fidelity that can't be faulted."--The Washington Post "Exquisite . . . What makes [Map of the Invisible World] brilliant are its rootless main characters. These fully formed individuals and their relationships transform [this] novel into a moving meditation on identity, memory, and art."--Time Out New York"Exquisitely and subtly rendered . . . Aw's haunting writing and his detailed evocation of 1960s Indonesia are both masterly."--The Christian Science Monitor "[A] vibrant narrative . . . enveloping the reader in several haunting personal journeys."--The Denver Post "Engrossing . . . plunges the reader into another time and place, and both are alluring."--The Plain Dealer "Well-paced and gorgeously written, this epic story of loss and identity mirrors the struggles of the young Indonesia in which it takes place."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
