In 1913, Hoi Wing Woo’s dreams of an education are shattered when he is sent to work in a Chinese laundry. Decades later, Irena Marianowska’s dreams of attending art school in Paris are crushed when the Nazis invade Poland. Sit down with authors Edward Y.C. Lee (The Laundryman’s Boy) and Kath Jonathan (The Resistance Painter) for a conversation about coming of age, human resilience, and bringing the past to life through fiction.
