When the Future Comes Too Soon | Selina Siak Chin Yoke
6 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
In Japanese-occupied Malaya, lives are shattered and a woman discovers her inner strength in a world ravaged by war. Following the death of their matriarch, the lives of Chye Hoons family turned upside down. Now that the British have fled and the Japanese have conquered, their once-benign world changes overnight. Amid the turmoil, Chye Hoons daughter-in-law, Mei Foong, must fend for her family as her husband, Weng Yu, becomes increasingly embittered. Challenged in ways she never could have imagined and forced into hiding, Mei Foong finds a deep reservoir of resilience she did not know she had and soon draws the attentions of another man. Is Mei Foongs resolve enough to save herself, her marriage, and her family? Only when peace returns to Malaya will she learn the full price she must pay for survival.

Great novel about a mothers experience during the Japanese invasion of Malaysia. My heart broke but my mind stayed strong that they would make it through the war together the whole time I was reading.

I'm spending my weekend catching up on all my reading, especially the Civil War comics for #marvelread, and maybe doing reviews I've been meaning to do. I still don't feel 100% like my normal high functioning self, but I am getting there. I am at least ready to come back to Litsy. I've missed going through everyone's posts so much!

Cathythoughts I'm glad you are getting better. Take care 🌺 7y

I won another book from Goodreads! This is my second time this month. Something to brighten this awful month. (This is actually my birth month and I always hate July.) I honestly do not remember entering this though. Not one bit. Lol

New review up on my site - “It is not very often that a strong Asian, female, LGBTQ voice (what a combo, right?) breaks through the noise – but I‘m glad it did, and that I got to hear it.”

Got an advanced copy of this via NetGalley. One of the best books I've read in a REALLY long time. If you enjoy multicultural historical fiction, I highly recommend this one.
