Meet the Author: "The Light Between Us" by Elaine Chiew

  • F405 Smart Room, Ngee Ann Kongsi Library McNally Street Singapore Singapore (map)

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.
