Sixteen-year-old Adam is an orphan three times over. He and his brother, Johan, were abandoned by their mother as children; then Adam watched as Johan was adopted and taken away by a wealthy couple; and now Adam is hiding because Karl, the man who raised him—and who is Dutch but long ago turned his back on the country of his ancestors—has been arrested by soldiers during Sukarno's drive to purge 1960s Indonesia of its colonial past.
All Adam has to guide him in his quest to find Karl are some old photos and letters, which send him to the colorful, dangerous capital, Jakarta, and to Margaret, an American whose own past is bound up with Karl's. Soon both have embarked on journeys of discovery that seem destined to turn tragic.
Woven hauntingly into this page-turning story is the voice of Johan, who is living a seemingly carefree, privileged life in Malaysia, but one that is careening out of control as he struggles to forget his long-ago betrayal of his helpless, trusting brother.
Map of the Invisible World confirms Tash Aw as one of the most exciting young voices on the international literary scene.

Terms of sale
Welcome to our storefront. We are an independent, individual bookseller offering a unique selection of used and vintage books.
Condition & Inquiries:
Every book is individually inspected and honestly described.

We are happy to provide additional details or specific photos to ensure the book matches exactly what you want.
Return Policy:
Returns are handled strictly in accordance with AbeBooks marketplace rules. If a return is requested because you changed your mind or ordered by mistake, the request may be declined. If accepted, the buyer is solely responsible for all shipping costs both ways, and the original shipping fee is non-refundable. Full return shipping is only compensated in verified cases of carrier damage or clear description errors.

Packaging & Care:
We understand that books are precious. Every order is packed securely in protective packaging (bubble mailers or sturdy boxes) to prevent any bending or moisture damage during transit.

We ship quickly! Orders are typically packaged and shipped the very next business day. Orders placed over the weekend (Friday afternoon through Sunday) will be processed and dropped off at the carrier on Monday morning.
