Description - The Interpreter's Daughter: A remarkable true story of feminist defiance in 19th Century Singapore by Teresa Lim
A photograph passed down through generations inspires this beautifully written, compelling memoir of one Singapore family and the secrets that defined their story
A cherished family photograph, taken in Hong Kong, 1935, sets Teresa Lim on a journey to uncover her family history. Through detective work, serendipity, and the kindness of strangers she was guided to the fascinating, ordinary, extraordinary life of her great-aunt Fanny, and her world of sworn spinsters, ghost husbands and the working-class feminists of 19th century south China.
But to recover her great-aunt's past, we must first get to know Fanny's family, the times and circumstances in which they lived, and the momentous yet forgotten conflicts that would lead to war in Singapore and, ultimately, a long-buried family tragedy.
