Book of the Month Live

Vanessa Chan on multigenerational storytelling.

12 Dec 2023

Description

On this week's episode, we sit down with the author of The Storm We Made, Vanessa Chan! We talk about how the foundation of her book came from her grandmother, how the Pacific Theater was impacted during World War II, and how her relationship with Malaysia has changed in the process of writing this book.  The Storm We Made takes place in 1945 Malaya, and Cecily's family is in danger. Her fifteen-year-old son has disappeared, her youngest daughter is confined in a basement, and her eldest works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth.  Get The Storm We Made at bookofthemonth.com.
