Eliza Chan joins us to launch her latest novel, The Harbour of Hungry Ghosts, a phenomenal fantasy set in colonial Hong Kong! Eliza's new novel is set against the backdrop of British colonialism in Hong Kong. Kiamling, eldest daughter of the Au family who serve Hong Kong's spiritual needs, is forced to step up after her grandmother is snatched up by a strange new monster when the Festival of Hungry Ghosts is disrupted by British colonial authorities. Blending British fables and Chinese monsters, The Harbour of Hungry Ghosts is a thrilling story of Opium War-era Hong Kong and a gripping adventure. Eliza will be in discussion with bestselling author Nicholas Binge, talking about blending folklores and beliefs, the long legacy of colonialism, writing a thrilling romp against a real historical background, and more, before signing copies of her books.
