The Library’s LA Made Program is featuring a discussion with Yangsze Choo on May 13 at 4:00. Tune in and hear from the author as she provides the author’s take on the book. The program will stream on the library’s YouTube and facebook channels. Make plans to watch.
The book summary describes it thusly:
In 1930s colonial Malaysia, Ji Lin labors by day as an apprentice seamstress and by night as a dance hall girl working to wipe out her mother's mah-jongg debts. Meanwhile, 11-year-old houseboy Ren has 49 days to find his dead master's long-severed finger and bury it with the body, or the man's soul will wander the earth for all time. When one of Ji Lin's partners leaves behind a stomach-churning artifact, she and Ren work together in a world troubled by inexplicable deaths and rumors of men who become tigers.
