New Beginnings

A descendant of the famous Kapitan Cina, Yap Kwan Seng, Chan Ling Yap will take you back to China in the 1800s, where we follow one man's journey to a new promised land Malaya. In the southern Province of Guangxi amidst the turmoil of the Taiping Rebellion and the Opium War, a woman is kidnapped and her husband shipped out as a coolie to Singapore. Yet from despair came good fortune. Seen through the eyes of one family, this is a moving story of the scourge of opium and one man's plight and rise in fortune in British Malaya.

Chan Ling Yap (or Yap Chan Ling when in Asia) was born in Kuala Lumpur. She was educated in Malaysia and subsequently in England where she obtained a PhD in Economics. She lectured at the University of Malaya before joining the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome where she worked for nearly two decades. She now lives in the UK with her husband and family. New Beginnings is her third novel. For more information visit www.chanlingyap.com.
