Very different covers.
Eric
Are there two MPH events this weekend featuring Mr Tan? Apparently, the Events@MPH leaflet says he'll be at MPH 1U on Sunday, 25/11, between 3 and 4pm.
Chet - Twan Eng will also be at One Utama on Sunday 25/11 between 3 and 4. You may also catch him on the NTV7 Breakfast Show on Friday morning.
thanks so much for the plug, eric
isn't the us cover of 'gift of rain" lovely? much prefer it
Yes - I much prefer the U.S. cover, too! I will be getting a copy of it for the library when it comes out.
Thanks everyone. Both covers are different but both capture the essence of the books I think.
Regards,
Tan Twan Eng
Chet - Twan Eng's appearance at MPH One Utama this Sunday has been cancelled.
I like that - Bangsarville!
