Book Synopsis

In Bones around My Neck, Tamara Loos recounts the personal and political adventures of Prince Prisdang Chumsai (1852–1935), who served as Siam's first diplomat to Europe during the most dramatic moment of Siam’s political history.



Trade Review

Tamara Loos's new book uses the life (and afterlife) of an exceptional individual as a narrative vehicle that captivatingly brings to life the history of Siam's transformation into modern Thailand.... Loos integrates the different levels of the narrative - ranging from geopolitical tensions to personal emotional turmoil - with great skill and erudition, which makes for an eminently pleasurable read that should appeal as much to general readers as it will to scholarly audiences.
