Epic literary novel following three generations of one family from the chaotic upheaval of post-war Malaysia to Britain in the 1980s, by the talented young author of Sayonara Bar
Susan Barker was born in London in 1978 to a Chinese Malaysian mother and an English father. Aged twenty-five, she completed the acclaimed novel Sayonara Bar ('Funny, crisply written and engaging' Times), followed by The Orientalist and the Ghost ('Sharp and original' Guardian). While writing her third novel The Incarnations she spent several years living in Beijing, researching modern and ancient China. She is currently based in Shenzhen, China.
Barker is a sharp and original writer. I greatly envied both her
ruthlessness and her tender, acute observations of these
characters
