A past that comes to him only in glimpses - a lifeboat, a tin of condensed milk, and a terrifying night on the beaches of Dunkirk in World War II...Gradually, Popsicle recovers his memory and, with Cessie's help, realises a dream by taking the residents of Shangri-La on an adventurous journey across the channel in his lifeboat. When they return to the port, Popsicle and his son, Cessie's father, are finally reconciled. About This Edition ISBN:

Expat Living Readers' Choice Awards 2023 - Best Hotel for a Family Staycation in Singapore, Gold — Shangri-La Singapore As Bette Midler used to say, "I never miss a Liv Ullman musical". Here is a film which attempts to inspire and uplift, and I guess it succeeds, if for reasons quite different from those intended. The Observer switches repeatedly between Franz and Cody's forms as it tells Fena that she is the "Maiden of Choosing" who must choose between letting the world continue as it is, or resetting it with only herself and a few other "pure souls". In either case, her memories will be wiped to save her from the burden of her choice. As the island begins to collapse on itself, Fena believes in the words of her friends and makes her decision. Yukimaru meets with her in Eden one last time before she disappears, swearing to find her again. Suddenly, Yukimaru wakes up on a beach, where an amnesiac Fena is standing in the water where her hair has become long and dark. The Goblin Knights then appear with their ship and whatever treasure they could carry. The crew decide to take Fena on a journey to retrace her steps and hopefully restore her memories. Kei receives the legendary sword from Shitan, Fena reunites with Salman, Otto, and Angie, walks by Charlotte, Mary, and Hannah, and sees two kids resembling Abel and Helena. While they are alone, Yukimaru confesses his love for Fena. Which suddenly triggering some of her lost memories is partially return indicating Yukimaru is the only one who can restore her memories.

I didn’t really get “into” the characters, aside from Cessie’s granddad as I loved the history and romance aspect. To be honest, I think one of the biggest character developments came from a very minor character! Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards 2023 - #3 Hotel in Asia, Singapore — Shangri-La Singapore
