Jane Yang
Jane Yang was born in the Chinese enclave of Saigon and raised in Australia where she grew up on a diet of superstition and family stories from Old China. She established a scientific career but is still sometimes torn between modern, rational thinking and the pull of old beliefs passed down by family. Her debut novel, The Lotus Shoes, set in 1800s China, is inspired by her grandmothers’ memories.
