Laurie Hashim lives with her husband, three boys, and two dogs in
Santa Barbara, California. Laurie graduated many years ago with a
degree in economics from Tufts University. She has worked in
management consulting in Boston, advertising in Kuala Lumpur, and
software in San Francisco. But these days when she is not writing
or doing research for writing, she is hiking, biking, and
travelling.
The island of Penang has captivated the author ever since she
married into a sprawling, multicultural family from this
metropolitan mosaic almost thirty years ago. Ms Hashim is grateful
to the Penang historical society, fastidious colonial records, and
a generation of Penangites devoted to writing memoirs, which have
helped her place her imagined characters in their proper time and
place.
