I read an ARC of Homeseeking in December and thoroughly enjoyed it! Currently reading an ARC of Bethnal Green too – books set in Malaysia are so few and far between, I completely agree. Grew up having family weekend breaks in Penang!

Oooh you’re making more excited for these books! Have you read books by Tan Twan Eng?

So many of these are on my list except Bethnal Green which I immediately added! Original Daughter, Homeseeking, the emperor of gladness. Also a new to me author: Disha Bose has a new book that sounds good I WILL BLOSSOM ANYWAY
