![]() ![]() That exceedingly rare opportunity afforded us the opportunity to cultivate our development as writers within a language that wasn’t technically our first. Cheung and I have one thing in common-we both taught ourselves the subject outside of regular class time with the help of teachers who kindly didn’t charge us, because neither of our religious public schools was equipped to teach middle- or working-class high schoolers bits and pieces of Shakespeare, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, and other such remnants of the British curriculum as would be likely to pop up on exams. In Hong Kong, whether or not your secondary school offers English literature as an elective for public exams is a surefire indicator of the class stratum you and your school occupy. ![]() Cheung writes with a brisk tenderness, narrating major historical shifts within the city with the same level of care and attention as she details interactions with old roommates. There are detours here and there, about the indie music scene, the mental health system, before moving toward the protests in 2019 and its devastating aftermath. In it she relates the story of her childhood in post-handover Hong Kong, her fraught adolescence and coming of age (narrated in a series of apartment moves), and how she came to care for a city that has decidedly not been hospitable to her or most other people. ![]() Parts of those essays surface in Cheung’s new book, The Impossible City: A Hong Kong Memoir. ![]() ![]() Her first novel, CONSEQUENCES was released in August of 2011. The author is represented by Danielle Egan-Miller of Browne & Miller Literary Associates and is a “Published Author’s Network” member of the Romance Writers of America.

She dreams of travelling around the world in real life as well as in her book.Elton John and Billy Joel are her favorites apart from jazz, when writing.

![]() His playmates are the king’s heir, Prince Balthazar, and Balthazar’s cousin, Lucien. ![]() We first meet Finnikin as the nine-year-old son of the Captain of the King’s Guard in Lumatere, one of the kingdoms of the land of Sculdenore. Her characters are always, always people I wish I knew! Even when they are flawed: these are not people you want to slap, but people you want to hug! But Marchetta creates such intense, complex characters that you soon forget you are navigating through a different world as you become totally immersed in the story. Yes, you’ve got to work your way through the Babel of alien names and places at the start, and it takes a short while to adjust. But for Melina Marchetta, I thought an exception was justified, and I was richly rewarded. ![]() ![]() I don’t often seek out fantasy as a genre (that is, besides of course paranormals, post-apocalyptics, and dystopias!). ![]() ![]() ![]() Armed with a Red Cross curfew pass, Mel and Vince scour the city helping those in need. While the war between the Chinese and Malays rages on, Mel finds an ally in Auntie Bee’s son, Vince. ![]() ![]() Wracked with guilt, Mel must battle her rising anxiety and the Djinn’s accusatory voice to find her missing mother. On May 13, the first day of the riots, Mel is saved by Auntie Bee, a Chinese-Malaysian stranger, and forced to leave her best friend, Saf, for dead. Mel believes a djinn has taken over her consciousness and if she doesn’t placate it by counting in threes-her compulsive behavior-all her loved ones will die, and it’ll all be her fault. Sixteen-year-old Melati Ahmad, a Malaysian of Malay descent, has obsessive-compulsive disorder. A girl battling mental illness searches for her mother during the historic race riots of 1969 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s astute in summing up the essence of why people feel the impulse to set off on such gruelling trips: often, unlike sturdy hikers, these are walkers who are infirm or frail. Then she has a section on that particularly focused kind of walking: pilgrimages, from those in the Americas, to Compostela and the medieval and later European pilgrim destinations (but I don’t recall a mention of Chaucer and Canterbury, and there’s no such entry in the index maybe I missed it). She explores the archaeology and anthropology of bipedalism, and the consequences of our ancient ancestors’ rising from all fours to an upright position that enabled perambulation, and the evolutionary and cultural developments that followed. This is a scholarly, well-researched and readable account of walking – its history, and how and why humans go for walks, often with no particular goal in mind. Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A history of walking. ![]() ![]() Scattered across the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian are forced to forge their own paths to meet their fates.
