Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth

"Set in Thailand and traveling loosely over the 1980s and '90s, with mention of a political incident in 2010, this ... book begins on the day Chareeya is born, the same day her mother discovers her father having an affair with a traditional Thai dancer. From that moment on, Chareeya's life is bound to the weight of her parents' disappointments"--Publisher marketing.
