false 6294657 4 From the author of the internationally acclaimed, Costa Award-winning The Harmony Silk Factory comes an enthralling new novel that evokes an exotic yet turbulent and often frightening world. 16-year-old Adam is an orphan three times over. He and his older brother, Johan, were abandoned by their mother as children; he watched as Johan was adopted and taken away by a wealthy couple; and he had to hide when Karl, the Dutch man who raised him, was arrested by soldiers during Sukarno's drive to purge 1960s Indonesia of its colonial past. Adam sets out on a quest to find Karl, but all he has to guide him are some old photos and letters, which send him to the colourful, dangerous capital, Jakarta. Johan, meanwhile, is living a seemingly carefree, privileged life in Malaysia, but is careening out of control, unable to forget the long-ago betrayal of his helpless, trusting brother. Map of the Invisible World is a masterful novel, and confirms Tash Aw as one of the most exciting young writers at work today. 6479051 2 4 2009 Map of the Invisible World total:16|5:0|4:3|3:6|2:6|1:1| 16 43 47 6 6294657 000728988X 9780007289882 13 5 2.69 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6294657.Map_of_the_Invisible_World 3 0 false Tue Jun 23 01:11:25 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 01:14:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6294657 000728988X 9780007289882 13 5 2.69 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6294657.Map_of_the_Invisible_World 2 0 false Fri Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 00:21:34 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 01:17:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6294657 000728988X 9780007289882 13 5 2.69 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6294657.Map_of_the_Invisible_World 2 0 false Sat Aug 01 02:45:39 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 03:25:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6294657 000728988X 9780007289882 13 5 2.69 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6294657.Map_of_the_Invisible_World 2 0 false Sat Mar 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 26 12:46:13 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 23 04:35:17 -0700 2009
