Heartland - Thryft

Singaporean rootlessness meets intense environmental bond.

"Heartland" gives you a poignant look into the Singaporean soul, especially if you're grappling with the complexities of identity and place. It's a resonant read for anyone who's juggled their future with a complicated past, and feels drawn to the comforts of physical spaces amidst life's transience. The emotional landscape Wing navigates will feel close to home for many.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
