I haven't read Tan Twan Eng's new novel yet, so I can't say for sure. However, his previous novels were highly praised for their beautiful prose and in - depth exploration of historical and cultural themes. There's a good chance the new one will also be great.
Some common key themes could be the American Dream, identity, and social class. The American Dream often explores the idea of achieving success through hard work. Identity can be related to race, gender, or cultural heritage in the context of the American experience. Social class shows the disparities and hierarchies within American society.
As I don't know the story well, I can't say for sure. But generally, main events in a story about two people could include their first meeting, a significant argument or misunderstanding, and then perhaps a reconciliation if they are friends or a final separation if they are foes.
