Following the Wrong God Home
Following the Wrong God Home

Cultural clash and personal dilemmas in poetry.

If you've ever stood at the crossroads of tradition and personal desire, "Following the Wrong God Home" might speak to you deeply. Catherine Lim weaves a poignant tale where the elegance of verse meets the raw tension of life's turning points. As Yin Ling's story of love, duty, and the search for identity unfolds, you might find yourself swept along, pondering your own choices between the expectations of the east and the freedoms of the west.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Yin Ling—poor, beautiful, an outstanding student and a poet—is to marry Vincent Chee, a rich PhD student from a very traditional, upper-class family. She will become a dutiful wife, not the existence of her dreams, but the Chees’ money and influence is essential, for her mother has cancer and they cannot abandon a faithful old servant, Ah Heng Cheh. However, the mapping out of Ling’s future doesn’t proceed smoothly. Almost against her will, and through her poetry, she meets outspoken American professor, Ben Gallagher, who threatens to overturn everything. Ling must make her choice: east or west, head or heart. The birth of a son makes her moral predicament even more agonizing.
