New look
By Ann | November 9, 2009
Bonjour, mes amis! If you’ve visited this blog before, perhaps you’ve already noticed I’ve added a home splash page with info about my novel, which is being published in February. (And when I say “I’ve added,” I mean my very talented graphic designer friend Anna Tunick added it.)
If you dislike change (and trust me, I’m with you on that one) and you’d like to bypass the splash page to visit the blog directly, go to this link and bookmark it under your favorites.
Thanks, as always, for reading! I’ll be back soon with a post on pets of Paris!
UPDATED: Oh my goodness, Publishers Weekly just reviewed Kitchen Chinese. I am weeping tears of joy! Here it is:
Kitchen Chinese Ann Mah. Avon, $13.99 paper (368p) ISBN 978-0-06-177127-9
After her magazine career craters, Isabelle Lee, the narrator of Mah’s super sharp debut, leaves New York to reconnect with her family roots in China. Her familiarity with the language and culture limited to “kitchen Chinese,” Isabelle lands a job at a magazine for the expatriate community in Beijing and finds a circle of friends. However, her relationship with her big-shot attorney sister, Claire, who’s lived in China for a while, gets off to a rocky start, with the two not knowing quite what to make of each other. Isabelle’s Beijing immersion, coupled with her chick lit arc, provides a refreshing and fun narrative, helped along by a fantastic heroine whose insights into modern China and the expatriate experience will intrigue readers. It’s a great start for a writer with much promise. (Feb.)
