A Night Full of Stars is the translation of an award-winning novel by V. Vinicchayakul, one of Thailand’s foremost novelists, and the author of over a hundred novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television. It is named after a song penned by King Prajadhipok, or Rama VII, the last absolute monarch of Siam. The song has special meaning for Gade, a young woman from Phetchaburi, whose life is turned upside down after her marriage to Nart, a dashing army officer, otherwise known as Colonel Phraya Wisetsingnart. The poignant story of Gade’s life takes place against the turbulent backdrop of Siam’s Revolution of 1932. Besides giving the reader a profound insight into the Thai way of life during this tumultuous period, readers from all cultural backgrounds will relate to the universal themes of love, loss and reconciliation.
