CHOSEN AS A TIMES, GUARDIAN and FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF 2025
A radiant novel of the longing that blooms between two boys over the course of one summer – about family, desire, and what we inherit – from celebrated author Tash Aw
When his grandfather dies, a boy named Jay travels south with his family to the property he left them, a once flourishing farm that has fallen into disrepair
The trees are diseased, the fields parched from months of drought
Still, Jay's father, Jack, sends him out to work the land, or whatever land is left
Over the course of these hot, dense days, Jay finds himself drawn to Chuan, the son of the farms manager, different from him in every way except for one
Out in the fields, and on the streets into town, the charge between the boys intensifies
Inside the house, the other family members confront their own regrets, and begin to drift apart
Like the land around them, they are powerless to resist the global forces that threaten to render their lives obsolete
At once sweeping and intimate, The South is a story of what happens when private and public lives collide
It is the first in a quartet of novels that form Tash Aw's masterful portrait of a family navigating a period of great change – a reimagined epic for our times
