"Stunning…epic…impressive…It is a pleasure to simply live alongside these characters.”—The New York Times

"A deep and powerful love story."—NBC The Today Show

"A beautifully written novel. I loved so much in this book: the richly imagined setting, the complicated love story, and the heartbreaking way history can tear apart a family." —Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful

Set against a changing Singapore, a sweeping novel about one boy’s unique gifts and the childhood love that will complicate the fate of his community and country

Ah Boon is born into a fishing village amid the heat and beauty of twentieth-century coastal Singapore in the waning years of British rule. He is a gentle boy who is not much interested in fishing, preferring to spend his days playing with the neighbor girl, Siok Mei. But when he discovers he has the unique ability to locate bountiful, movable islands that no one else can find, he feels a new sense of obligation and possibility—something to offer the community and impress the spirited girl he has come to love.

By the time they are teens, Ah Boon and Siok Mei are caught in the tragic sweep of history: the Japanese army invades, the resistance rises, grief intrudes, and the future of the fishing village is in jeopardy. As the nation hurtles toward rebirth, the two friends, newly empowered, must decide who they want to be, and what they are willing to give up.

An aching love story and powerful coming-of-age that reckons with the legacy of British colonialism, the World War II Japanese occupation, and the pursuit of modernity, The Great Reclamation confronts the wounds of progress, the sacrifices of love, and the difficulty of defining home when nature and nation collide, literally shifting the land beneath people’s feet.

Equity, on the other hand, involves recognizing that individuals have different circumstances and allocating resources accordingly to achieve fair outcomes.

How has Singapore’s approach to land reclamation evolved since its start?

Do eco-friendly land reclamation technologies exist?

Could Singapore eventually run out of sea space to reclaim, and what then?

Could Singapore export its land reclamation expertise as a service to other coastal cities facing similar space constraints?

Incineration reduces the size of waste by 90%

40 % of trash incinerated

Despite awareness-raising campaigns to encourage a 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) mindset, and designating 2019 as a ‘Year towards zero waste’, Singapore’s domestic recycling rate dropped from 22 per cent in 2018 to 17 per cent in 2019 – only 4 per cent of plastic and 18 per cent of food is recycled in the city-state.

The nation aims to achieve 70% overall recycling rate by 2030
