Description

Not The Same Family is a collection of ten short stories that engage an array of families — both conventional and unconventional. With settings that span Australia and the USA, and the local neighbourhoods of Singapore in between, the book brings difficult issues confronting the modern Singaporean family to the forefront, navigating many facets of this volatile landscape we call 'family' while uncovering the individual so often buried under its weight.
