I was fortunate enough to attend and photograph the book launch for Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew at Ottawa Art Gallery.
The turnout was surprising with what is happening in Ottawa this weekend.
Also great to see people wearing yellow and showing their show for Jamie and her debut novel.
Don Kwan provided the conversation part of the book launch.
Here is a blurb about the novel:
Jim Wong-Chu Emerging Writers Award winner who is an Asian woman traces her mother’s past journey in order to learn who she really is and where she belongs.
“Dandelion” is a beautiful novel about identity, family, memory and the diasporic experience.
Purchase the book at thru this site.
Check out the gallery.
