Sobre aquest llibre
Sarah hadn’t wanted to come to Australia. She’s been perfectly happy with things how they were in Singapore where school was for learning, and ‘being cool’ was a non-issue. Now Dad was trying his best to make her into a ‘fair dinkum’ Aussie while Mum was determined to hang on to all the old Asian traditions. During the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts Sarah meets the ghost of Pei, a Chinese girl who was not much older than Sarah when she died. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the girls share a common ancestry. Initially reluctant, Sarah helps Pei to discover the truth about events surrounding her death and the lover she believed had betrayed her. Set in contemporary Singapore and Australia, and nineteenth-century China and Australia, this sprawling tale by Sally Heinrich touches on issues of Chinese immigration to Australia from the 1800s to the present.

Sobre l'autor
Sally Heinrich was born in Adelaide and went to university there. Since then she has been working as a freelance illustrator, and so far has not had to get a real job. She has illustrated more than twenty books, both fact and fiction, and has written as well as illustrated four picture books of her own, the most recent of which is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LANTERN. She now spends about half her time writing and the other half drawing. HUNGRY GHOSTS, Sally's first novel, started out as a picture book, but just seemed to keep growing. She is currently working on a number of projects, including a second novel.
