Time in a bottle - A Thai novel

This national bestseller, emblematic of the 1970s student generation, explores the generation gap between parents and children in a Bangkok middle-class family, the pains of growing up and tug-of-war between friendship and love in teenage hearts. The world of feelings and frustrations it sketches in a swift patchwork of flashbacks, impressionistic and particularly vivid and true to life, is familiar to adolescents the world over.
