Mingmei Yip Talks About Petals from the Sky

February 28, 2010 by Clare Swindlehurst  
Filed under Interviews, Sunday Salon

I’m hoping that you caught my review of Petals From The Sky by Mingmei Yip a couple of weeks back; it’s the story of a girl who dreamed of being a buddhist nun but then found herself caught between the East and the West, between spirituality and passion. The novel is loosely based on Mingmei’s own life story so I was delighted when she offered to answer some interview questions as part of the Sunday Salon this week.
Don’t miss out on the giveaway!

I’ve never been a fan of Jane Austin; I tried to read Pride & Prejudice a few years back and couldn’t get past the first few chapters.
