"I absolutely adore this book.love story begins slow-like a delicious lowcountry boil-but heats up to the perfect ending." -Kathleen Y'Barbo, bestselling author of The Black Midnight A heartwarming Avon debut of love, forgiveness, and new beginnings set in the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry. Kwan's father and mother, an engineer and pianist respectively, moved the family to the United States when Kwan was 11. While in Singapore, Kwan studied at the Anglo-Chinese School and lived with his paternal grandparents. Kwan is also related to Hong Kong-born American actress Nancy Kwan and former Singaporean finance minister Richard Hu, who was a cousin of his father. Paul Hang Sing Hon, founded the Hinghwa Methodist Church. His paternal grandfather, Sir Arthur Kwan Pah Chien M.D., was an ophthalmologist who became Singapore's first Western-trained specialist and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his philanthropic efforts. His great-grandfather, Oh Sian Guan, was a founding director of Singapore's oldest bank, the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation. Kevin Kwan was born in Singapore as the youngest of three boys, into an established Chinese Singaporean family. In 2018, Kwan made Time magazine's list of 100 most influential people and was inducted into The Asian Hall of Fame. In 2014, Kwan was named as one of the "Five Writers to Watch" on the list of Hollywood's Most Powerful Authors published by The Hollywood Reporter. His latest book, Sex and Vanity, was released in June 2020. Kevin Kwan (born 1973/1974) is a Singapore-born American novelist and writer of satirical novels Crazy Rich Asians, China Rich Girlfriend, and Rich People Problems. We are immersed in the local politics of this new clan. Here we meet the other main characters of Age of Myth, and where I think, the story takes on a different tone. Together they inadvertently bolster the story of Raithe’s killing of a god and thus their reputation begins to grow and outpaces them to a sizeable Rhune (man) village at the edge of the Crescent Forest. With his sidekick, Malcolm, in tow, Raithe goes south with the deadly Instarya, a tribe of the god-like Fhrey, hot on his heels. Raithe, our hero, manages to kill a god, but he had a little help and as he runs from the inevitable fallout, he learns there’s more to the gods than he ever thought possible. This story starts with a man killing a god.īut nothing in Age of Myth is what it seems. But the events in Age of Myth happen thousands of years before the events of those books. Sullivan’s work, this series is set in the same world as his Riyria series ( The Riyria Chronicles and The Riyria Revelations ). For those of you familiar with Michael J. Sullivan’s work, Nila embarks on yet another (hopefully) long journey into the First Empire.Īge of Myth is the first book of a series titled The Legends of the First Empire. Jesus is an itinerant preacher and miracle worker, while Christ is his devoted chronicler. The only truly inflammatory note in this challenging novel is the word "scoundrel" in the title, given that the two main characters of Jesus and his twin brother Christ both come over as virtually blameless. If Jesus here sometimes sounds like a modern cult leader, advocating that his disciples cut ties with their own families – so what happens to their wives and children? – it's not Pullman's fault. Questionable statements that do appear, such as His referring to a Gentile woman as a "little dog" or His self-proclaimed mission to set son against father and daughter against mother, are already there in the Good Book. For, on the evidence of this novel, the author says nothing bad about Jesus. Fanatics whose threats have recently occasioned Philip Pullman to require a guard both at home and when he speaks in public should pack up their Bibles and go home. |
