Meet the writers and editors of Meihan Boey’s The Enigmatic Madam Ingram and The Epigram Books Collection of Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Six in this exclusive meet-the-writers/editors session. Both books will be available for sale at the event.
Author Meihan Boey’s latest release The Enigmatic Madam Ingram illustrates the lengths Letty will go to in order to save her own soul, and reveals how Miss Cassidy’s past has caught up with her, in the shape of a worthy opponent: a terrifying jungle spirit the native folk call the Bungadarah. In this exciting sequel to the multi-award-winning novel, The Formidable Miss Cassidy, Letty Ingram, a half-Malayan lady raised in the UK, has suffered under a strange curse her whole life. Her beautiful and fearsome mother, from an unknown island in the Malay Archipelago, is the key to the mystery. Letty arrives in Singapore in 1906 to seek the help of the Chinese medium, Madam Kay. But Madam Kay’s whole family gets involved, including her sister, her father…and their unusual mutual friend, the formidable Miss Cassidy.
The Epigram Books Collection of Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Six gathers the finest Singaporean stories published in 2021 and 2022, selected by guest editor Gwee Li Sui from hundreds published in journals, magazines, anthologies and single-author collections.
