Not The Same Family is a collection of ten short stories that engage an array of families - both conventional and unconventional. Though the families depicted in each narrative are expectedly different in circumstance, it is oftentimes through the honest, genuine dialogue between characters that we find the almost-too-familiar sense of home. With settings that span Australia and the USA, and the local neighbourhoods of Singapore in between, this book brings difficult issues confronting the modern Singaporean family to the forefront - navigating many facets of this volatile landscape we call family, while uncovering the individual so often buried under its weight.
