Come for this meet and greet session with Elaine Chiew, the author of “The Heartsick Diaspora” (recommended in the Guardian, The Singapore Straits Times, BookRiot, and Esquire SG) and compiler/editor of “Cooked Up: Food Fiction From Around the World”.
“The Light Between Us” is a Southeast Asian historical romance that defies time and space as an archivist explores her city’s tumultuous past through a supernatural connection. Inspired by her research into Singaporean historical archives, Elaine Chiew weaves Chinese mythology and early 20th century colonial Singapore into this speculative epic.
