The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds by Selina Siak Chin Yoke
As a young girl, Chye Hoon dreams of going to school and learning to read, but when her mother tells her that life is not meant for a Nyonya (women of mixed Malayan-Chinese heritage), she settles for a new dream of cooking traditional Nyonya food. Later, she marries a Chinese man named Peng Choon, and they move to a small town and have ten children. Everyone is happy until tragedy strikes, and Chye Hoon must rely heavily upon her Malayan-Chinese culture to save her family. As the world enters the twentieth century, Chye Hoon is torn when her sons and daughters begin to adopt Western ways. While she wants to pass along her family’s traditions, she’s afraid it will push her children away. As a result, Chye Hoon precariously balances between the two worlds doing her best to keep the family together.
Set between the late 1800s and the onset of World War II, this novel is a sweeping saga of one woman clinging to her traditions while the world transforms around her. With well-developed characters and rich landscapes, readers are immersed in Malayan culture. Fans of Amy Tan, Pearl S. Buck, and Gabriel García Márquez will love this debut novel, which is also the first in Chin Yoke’s Malayan series.
The Inquisitor's Tale : Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog
This book is a great adventure told in a style reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales. On a dark night in 1242, weary travelers gather at a small French Inn and trade miraculous stories about three children and their dog. Jeanne is a peasant girl who has visions of the future, William is a Muslim born monk-in-training with supernatural strength, Jacob is a Jewish boy with incredible healing powers, and Gwenforte, the dog, has returned from the dead. Together, their powers will be tested by demons and dragons, cruel knights and cunning monks. From small villages to grand banquet halls, these three friends and their dog are chased through France to a final showdown at the foot of the abbey-fortress of Mont-Saint-Michel.
