Overview

At twelve years old, Little Frog has a richly fantastic and sustaining innerlife. It is 1963, his parents have disappeared, and he lives with his maiden aunts, known affectionately as the Three Fates, on the family estate in Bangkok. But, fed by a stream ofbooks and accompanied by his pet chameleon, Little Frogrefuses to accept thathe is Thai, eats English food, speaks only English, and answers to the name of Justin. Into Justin's eclectically fashioned, whirlingfantasy world steps Virgil, a black American boy, and together they embark on a glorious spree of magic and growing up - in which sex, adult confusions, comedy, farce, politics and the voices of East and West are fused into a voyage of astonishing discovery. "Fragrant and very funny ... like childhood, one finds that Jasmine Nights is hard to leave behind" - The Guardian "Charming, elegant and funny ... a novel like no other and a joy to read" - Cosmopolitan "A vibrant coming of age novel" - Sunday Times "A funny and memorable book, light-heartedly taking on big themes" - Daily Telegraph
