{"product_id":"leap-of-fate","title":"Leap of Fate","description":"A quirky tale of feuds, courage and redemption, set in a rural village in 1950s Singapore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up in the 1950s in a village known as Lorong Limau, a group of young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSingaporeans found themselves having to navigate livelihoods and relationships in unexpected tragicomic ways. Siblings would turn out to be lifelong enemies, money−or rather the lack of it−a crippling nightmare, love an ever posture of deception, wild gossip the coup de gr ce. In spite of it all, the unforeseen−even death itself−would every so often become a flint for courage and redemption for some of the protagonists especially Tin, a brave teenage girl who continued to defy familial odds, and Mona, a widow-turned-prostitute who was forced to thwart her own expectations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqual parts inspired by real-life anecdotes and borne of imagination, this story promises to lay bare the struggles and aspirations of those living in that era, a place and time unwittingly defined by societal taboos and quirky traditions long vanished from the face of contemporary Singapore. Ultimately, it's a story of what it means to be human when fate decides to take a leap.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jansen Lim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43517342089277,"sku":null,"price":28.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9789815144901.jpg?v=1787574228","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/leap-of-fate","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
