SUMMARY:"The Original Daughter" with Jemimah Wei
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Jemimah Wei\, a Hemingway 
 Writer-in-Residence at The Community Library\, about her award-winning 
 novel The Original Daughter.\n\nSingapore\, 1996. Before Arin\, Genevieve 
 Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and grandmother in a 
 single-room flat in Bedok\, she is saddled with an unexpected sibling when 
 Arin appears\, the shameful legacy of a grandfather long believed to be 
 dead.\n\nAt once collaborators and sisters\, Gen and Arin grow up 
 inseparable\, navigating the intensity of life in working-class Singapore 
 – where urgent insistence on achievement demands self-immolation in the 
 realms of imagination\, work\, and play. But as the rapidly modernising\, 
 winner-take-all world threatens to leave one behind as the other’s star 
 rises exponentially\, the 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 cracks open the fault lines of Singaporean 
 society\, our desperate need for acceptance and our yearning to be 
 loved.\n\nBooks will be available for sale by Hank & Sylvie's. Book signing 
 to follow.\n\nRegistration requested to join us.
