One last time and on her birthday, Rose de Souza is returning to school to give a final lesson to her classroom of secondary school boys before retiring from her long teaching career. What ensues is an unexpected confession in which she recounts the tragic and traumatic story of Amir, a student from her past who overturned the way she saw herself as a teacher, and changed her life forever. The stunning first novel from award-winning poet Cyril Wong, The Last Lesson of Mrs de Souza is a tour de force, an exceptional examination of the power of choice and the unreliability of memory.

A woman learns of a friend's illness and wonders if she ever truly knew him. A boy who sees ghosts heeds the advice of a fortune-teller, with surprising consequences. A girl wakes up and realises everybody in her Bedok neighbourhood has vanished. From Cyril Wong, award-winning author of The Last Lesson of Mrs de Souza, comes another beautiful book about characters in crisis, with two stories crossing intriguingly into creative autobiography.

What is Work? If you’re a scientist, work is force times distance. We believe this equation holds true for entrepreneurs and business owners too. What is your work? It is the force. The blood sweat and tears that you are putting into your business; times the distance. The stamina, and time that you’re investing in your own success. Join us for What Is The Work, as we examine the force multipliers or rather the building blocks that winners, leaders, and risk takers leverage to take a business to the next level.
