Regardless, we’re still ever searching for a safe haven under that concrete boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Coming of age’ is translated to —to take a step beyond one’s youth—in Thai literature. When, in truth, shedding one’s youth is an act far more difficult than simply taking a step further, oftentimes by weathering through one’s surroundings and stimulation, oftentimes from relying on the innermost driving force within us. Anger, sadness, and insecurities that have been bottled up are a ticking time bomb. Time after time, a character would go with the choice that only worsens everything, making us readers wonder if all of us would make it through the end. This book is a collection of stories with most of their protagonists being a young child, while the stories themselves are meant for the adult, with each of them detailing a different way of processing and dealing with traumas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApinuch Petcharapiracht\u003c\/strong\u003e (also known under the pen name ‘Moonscape’) is a Chinese-Thai writer who leads a peaceful life with her cat and dog in Phetchaburi, Thailand.
