Description:
The story of a young modern Siamese girl and her quest for true love Prisna Volume 1 and Volume 2 take place in 1938 in Phra Nakhon, Thailand, during a time when men and women were not equals. Marriage for women meant security, not love. Prisna is the youngest daughter among four girls and was the only one raised in America by their uncle. She is outgoing, cheerful, and pretty, but at the same time, she is also headstrong, intelligent, and opinionated. She returns to Siam after living in America for 12 years and is once again reunited with her family. Prisna, whose name means 'mystery, a puzzle or riddle', causes quite a stir in Thailand with her open, American behaviour and refreshing beauty. She develops a dislike toward Prince Puthpreecha, whom she has never met because everyone puts him on a pedestal. Over time, both end up having to reevaluate their presumptions of each other as they get to know one another better.
