It’s a playful and ingenious reminder that borders are real, that turns the traditional adventure story on its head. The Wandering is a novel about the highs and lows of global nomadism, the politics and privileges of travel and desire, and the freedoms and limitations of the choices we make, by one of Asia’s most exciting writers. As your paths cross and intertwine, you’ll come to realise that no story is ever new. The choices you make may mean you end up as a tourist or an undocumented migrant, a mother or a murderer, and you will meet many travellers with their own stories to tell. You’re forever wandering, everywhere and nowhere, but are you ever home? To Berlin or Amsterdam? Lima or Tijuana? Or onto a train that will never stop?

A pair of red shoes to take you wherever you want to go. So you make a Faustian pact with a devil, who gives you a gift, and a warning. You’re desperate to escape your boring life teaching English in Jakarta, to go out and see the world. You’ve grown roots, you’re gathering moss. The most ingenious, unique novel you will read all year, where you choose your own story as you travel across the world
