Elaine Chiew Book order

The Light Between Us is a Southeast Asian historical romance that defies time and space as an archivist explores her city's tumultuous past through a supernatural connection. Inspired by her research into Singaporean historical archives, Elaine Chiew weaves Chinese mythology and early 20th century colonial Singapore into this speculative epic.

Set in different cities around the world--Hong Kong, Miami, New York, London, Ipoh and Singapore--Elaine Chiew's award-winning stories travel into the heart of the Singaporean-Malaysian diaspora, and ask what it means to be 'Chinese' or 'Asian' within the context of dual, or hyphenated, identities.
