Bitter-sweet Harvest (Paperback)
Chan Ling Yap (author)Published: 20/02/2012
What happens when love and hate collide? When An Mei fell in love with Hussein, she could not have foreseen the tragic events that were to follow. Set in a Malaysia emerging from the outbreak of racial conflict in 1969, Bitter-Sweet Harvest tells of the difficulties and tensions involved in a marriage between a Malay Muslim and a Chinese Christian. Atmospheric, dramatic, action-packed and intriguing, this is a spell-binding journey through contrasting cultures: from the learned spires of Oxford in England to the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia; from vibrant Singapore to Catholic Rome and developing Indonesia. Bitter-Sweet Harvest is the sequel to the novel Sweet Offerings. The stories can be read in any order and are complete in themselves.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"... a superbly told love story that will tug at your heartstrings and the dilemma easily identifiable in today's society and among families just as much as it was an emerging issue fifty odd years ago. I reckon Chan Ling Yap is a born story- teller." - Choose and Book, UK "I was intrigued and found myself drawn to the well-fleshed out and believable characters in the book, particularly the feisty An Mei." - Vanessa Tai, Cosmopolitan Singapore
