Memoir to rival Wild Swans found in attic
Memoir found in attic could be as big a hit as Wild Swans, by Louise Jury, Chief Arts Correspondent, The London Evening Standard, 19 April 2012:
A Chinese family memoir that languished in an attic for half a century is being hailed as a future hit as big as international bestseller Wild Swans. Agent Susan Mears is in talks with major publishers at this week’s London Book Fair after the manuscript documenting appalling hardship and bravery was discovered by London writer Howard Webster four months ago. It tells the story of Stephen Jin-Nom Lee, who rose from extreme poverty to become a colonel in the Cantonese Air Force, a professor, banker — and grandfather to Mr Webster’s Chinese-American wife, Julianne Lee.
