The Best of Times?

This book was written by Alan Maley in 2009. This story is set in Malaysia. The maincharacter is Chee Seng who is a 16-year-old boy.

Everything was perfect until about a year ago. His family's atmosphere was really good. At weekends they often went off somewhere together. However, everything was broken on his sixteen birthday party. That day, he saw his father and his mother's best friend were looking at and embraced each other on the stairs in his house. After that, he noticed that his father started coming home later and later. The family's atmosphere changed to bad.
One day, he witnessed his father had sex with the woman, and at the time he realized his father had an affair with her. His mother also realized it, and became crazy. She was often very hard on him. Finally his father run away with the woman. Then Chee Seng and his mother encountered a lot of difficulties.  Did they get over them? How was the end of this story?

I think the theme of this story is family relationship and love. It made me feel uneasy from the beggning. Honestly the topic is not good, but I found what the good relationship of family should be. In the middle of this story, he and his mother became corrupted. Sometimes I felt sorry for poor their situation. I really enjoyed the whole story. After reading this, you must feel happy because the end of this story is good a bit. I recommend you to read this.
