Frog under A Coconut Shell - Softcover
This book is based on the author's true story of how her own mother struggled for her right to educate her daughters despite her own parochial existence in a small kampong. This highly nostalgic and evocative book pays tribute to her mother's courageous journey from the bloom of youth to her affliction with Alzheimer's disease in old age.
