Bangkok-born and British-educated writer Tew Bunnag works with hospices and hospitals dealing with patients facing end-of-life issues, so perhaps it is natural that redemption and healing are two themes of "Slow Steps to Love," his latest novel.  (All photos courtesy of Tew Bunnag)

Tew Bunnag left Bangkok at age 6 for a British education and now lives in Spain, writing part-time in English while teaching tai chi and working in a hospice.

Judging from "Slow Steps to Love," Bunnag's latest novel -- just published by Bangkok-based River Books -- the answer is: quite a lot.
