Hunters in the Dark (2016)
“She walked there along Pasteur, past the upscale lounge-style restaurants and the Japanese bars. Like her father’s house, it was a massive old French villa which the owner had restored with his personal fortune. In his garden, the Frenchman had placed artworks by several well-known Khmer artists and surrounded them with an open bar lit with Vietnamese lanterns. Inside, the ground floor had been converted into the evening’s playground and there she whiled away a few hours drinking vodka cocktail...s and finding her friends. It was the sort of evening she was becoming used to during her time of “unemployment.” With no pressing financial worries, no rent to pay, she could do what she wanted with her evenings and she had consequently fallen into a lulling rhythm of long nights and late risings and mild hangovers. She knew it would pass eventually, but for the moment she felt it was exactly what a twenty-five-year-old should be doing with her life. There were no pleasant surprises, but no unpleasant surprises either.MoreLess
