A Wife in Bangkok by Iris Miltin Lav (September 8, She Writes Press) is a beautiful tale of one woman who dropped everything for a journey across the globe. When Crystal’s husband’s job relocates her family to Thailand, she finds shocking betrayal and isolation among the beauty―and she has to decide which parts of her relationship are worth saving.
“In the novel, Crystal experiences profound loneliness. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, 20 percent of the U.S. population reported feeling lonely — a situation that often is manifested in physical as well as mental illness – and the percentage of people who are lonely is likely far greater today because of lockdowns and necessary distancing. This reminds all of us to reach out to those who might be lonely. Crystal needed friends, and we have the power to befriend others.” —A note from Iris Lav
An attention-grabbing dialogue is worth comment. I feel that it is best to write extra on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but generally individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
