Ponti by Sharlene Teo Book Review

Title: A breathtaking surprise
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Teo's writing is vivid, shocking and at times profound. I appreciated the depiction of her characters as real people who are neither good nor bad nor cliches... the atmosphere especially made the story feel so tangible. I cant wait to read what comes next from her. This is a talented and promising new author who is here to stay.

Title: Lovely, Memorable Images, Almost No Storyline
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019
Review: Ponti is a very MFA-ish book, full of lovely description, visual detail, and memorable phrases, but chapters and chapters go on without anything much happening in them. The novel is narrated in turns by Amisa, a horror-movie hasbeen, her teenage daughter, Szu, and Szuโs school friend, Circe. The three women narrate different overlapping experiences, over many years, and the jumping narrators and timelines help make this a book of images, without much plot connecting them.
Mostly, this was fine. Iโve enjoyed reading about Singapore and Malaysia in The Night Tiger, Crazy Rich Asians, Sarong Party Girls, The Harmony Silk Factory, and more, and the setting in Ponti comes through strongly. As an ex-expat English teacher, I usually love reading about foreign food, foreign weather, and foreign school systems, and Ponti didnโt disappoint me there, with detailed observations about .
But I read this on my Kindle, so I didnโt have any reminder of my progress through the book. The beautiful prose, extremely slow character development, and the vaguely similar emotions between narrators, had me at the final chapter thinking At last! The exposition is over and the plot is starting!, although really I was just pages from the unsatisfying end. I enjoyed the scenes that make up this book, but, ultimately, nothing happened. Our three characters went about their days feeling frustrated and disappointed, and overall, the book left me feeling a bit frustrated and disappointed, too.

Title: Novel set in SINGAPORE
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019
Review: The title of the book refers to a series of 3 films made in the later 20th Century starring Amisa. In part, this is her story but also story of Szu, her daughter and of her daughterโs friend Circe. Ponti, referring to Pontianak, is a female vampiric ghost in Malay mythology.
Amisa is a beauty who turns many heads but her outer allure is marred by an inner ugliness that is oftentimes heaped on her daughter Szu. Much of their world now is downbeat, depressing and even the fish in their tank swim their circuits in rather rank, green water.
At school Szu is not a popular teenager but is befriended by Circe. Theirs is at some level an intangible friendship that sustains them through all the angst prevalent in their age group. From the year 2020 Circe looks back at the time spent with Szu and her mother, prompted by a remake of the Ponti films that she herself is working on.
The narrative is put together like scenes from a film, spliced together in a random way. The chapters flip between time periods and characters, which is a little jarring. However, I feel this is done to reflect the fractured nature of the relationships portrayed in the novel.
Singapore as a backdrop, spanning the 50 odd years during which the storyline is set, is depicted as a constant, evolving city. The author has a real eye for detail and description of place and time and a gifted writing style. The writing is very evocative of the city.
Ponti is a debut novel that experiments with an unusual and very original construct. It feels like it has been inspired by the snapchat formula, vivid and compelling at the point of reading but ultimately perhaps a little transient. It is powerful in many ways, assured and poignant.
I will be very interested to see where the writer goes in her next novel.

Title: Novel set in Singapore. A literary and gothic infused read
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019
Review: Ponti is a fresh, and very unique tale told in three very distinct voices. Three women of various ages and backgrounds are all living in Singapore. Their lives linked in various ways by a series of now cult horror movies, called Ponti. Ponti, it turns out is a female vampire figure of Malay legends. Was I going to have to read this behind the sofa? Well no. Itโs a symbol, an idea and a fascinating way of linking culture and experience rather than anything horror like.
The novel flits back and forth which could almost short vignettes in the same film with the snow from the TV screen separating one character from another. These are snapshots of their lives, their chance to tell their story and it works very well indeed. The timelines, the gaps inbetween the years felt very well handled by this author.
This is a novel of many themes and layers โ itโs definately focused on characters and their shared background. And what a background it is. Obsessive friendships, ugliness and beauty, overpowering mothers and so much more. There is a lot of sharp social commentary which reveals just as much about the cultural setting and the time than the characters do.
Thatโs not to say Singapore is not a character. The heat steams from each and every page. The colourful streets, the noise, the grey tower blocks all play their role as the characters move around like chess pieces. Each thing has an effect on someone and something else.
Unique and recommended.

Title: Interesting new writer
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018
Review: Using a horror movie- Ponti- as a central theme (sort of), this well written character driven novel is told from the perspective of three women- Szu, her mother (and the original star of the movie) Amisa, and her friend (and star of the remake) Circe. You get the voices of Szu and Circe but not of Amisa, whose chapters are written in third person, but she comes through loud and clear. One of the nicest parts of this is how Singapore is almost another character. The sounds, smells, and most of all the food, comes through loud and clear. Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC. This is an unusual read and it won't be for anyone but try it for a new writer with an ear for language and a nice turn of phrase.
