90 reviewsA remarkable true story of feminist defiance in 19th Century Singapore
Discover one family's fascinating story in this beautiful, sweeping, multigenerational memoir, spanning 19th century south China to modern day Singapore
'A captivating, compelling story of history, family loyalty, & personal sacrifice. A fascinating & richly textured multigenerational tale' Charmaine Wilkerson, NY Times bestselling author of Black Cake

'I would learn that when families tell stories, what they leave out re-defines what they keep in. With my family, these were not secrets intentionally withheld. Just truths too painful to confront . . .'
In the last years of her life, Teresa Lim's mother, Violet Chang, had copies of a cherished family photograph made for those in the portrait who were still alive. On the back is the place & date: Hong Kong, 1935.
Teresa would often look at this photograph, enticed by the fierceness & beauty of her great-aunt Fanny looking back at her. But Fanny never seemed to feature in the told & retold family stories. Why? she wondered.
This photograph set Teresa on a journey to uncover her family's remarkable history. Through detective work, serendipity, & the kindness of strangers, she was guided to the fascinating, extraordinary life of her great-aunt & her world of sworn spinsters, ghost husbands & the working-class feminists of 19th century south China.
But to recover her great-aunt's past, we first must get to know Fanny's family, the times & circumstances in which they lived, & the momentous yet forgotten conflicts that would lead to war in Singapore and, ultimately, a long-buried family tragedy.
The Interpreter's Daughter is a beautifully moving record of an extraordinary family history. For fans of Wild Swans, The Hare With Amber Eyes, & Falling Leaves this is the next classic in the making.

Teresa Lim is a Singaporean now resident in England. The Interpreter's Daughter is her 1st book.
