SUMMARY:“The Original Daughter” with Jemimah Wei
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Jemimah Wei\, a Hemingway Write
 r-in-Residence with The Community Library\, about her award-winning novel "
 The Original Daughter."\\n\\nSingapore\, 1996. Before Arin\, Genevieve Yang

 rs\, the shameful legacy of a grandfather long believed to be dead.\\n\\nAt
  once collaborators and sisters\, Gen and Arin grow up inseparable\, naviga
 ting the intensity of life in working-class Singapore – where urgent insi
 stence on achievement demands self-immolation in the realms of imagination\
 , work\, and play. But as the rapidly modernising\, winner-take-all world t
 hreatens to leave one behind as the other’s star rises exponentially\, th
 e sisters must weigh their allegiances and bonds\, the cost of success and 
 ultimately reckon with who they’ve become. What results is a story that c
 racks open the fault lines of Singaporean society\, our desperate need for 
 acceptance and our yearning to be loved.\\n\\nBooks will be available for s
 ale by Hank & Sylvie's. Book signing to follow.\\n\\nRegistration requested
