Talk

LASALLE’s MA Creative Writing programme invites you to a meet and greet session with author Elaine Chiew, who will be sharing a preview of her debut novel The Light Between Us, a speculative time-travel romance set against the backdrop of two important political movements in 1920s to 1940s colonial Singapore. It will be launched this May in London, September in the US and the rest of the world.

Come hear Elaine talk about using historical archives in fiction, publishing overseas and a chance to win an advanced reading copy of the novel.
