Novel Review
A critic reads Four Reigns
see phaen din waang chee-wit khrop-khrua wai bon sen wela khong pra-wat-sat
Four Reigns sets a family's life along the timeline of history
khwaam ying yai mai dai yoo tee het-gaan yai phiang yang diao tae tee raai-la-iat khong khwaam phuk phan
Its greatness lies not only in major events, but in the details of attachment
phu aan ruam sa-mai aat ruu seuk wa jang-wa chaa tae khwaam chaa poert pheun-thee hai hen kaan plian plaeng thee la noi
Contemporary readers may find the pacing slow, yet that slowness opens space to see change little by little
wan-na-kam lak-sa-na nee chuan hai thaam wa khwaam than sa-mai laek gap a-rai
