Whenever Teresa Lim asked about a striking woman she saw in old family photos, she was told 'That's Aunt Fanny; she was unfortunate.' So naturally, Teresa Lim spent years excavating Aunt Fanny's life in 1920s Singapore. It's a story of three devoted sisters, ghost husbands, working-class Chinese feminists, and sworn spinsters. Turns out, Fanny was very fortunate indeed...until History arrived at her front door. _________________________You can buy Teresa Lim's The Interpreter's Daughter and benefit a local indie bookshop <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18346/9781639362684">HERE</a>Music in this episode was by:The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK3jRo6aTbQ">Butterfly Lovers Concerto for violin</a> performed by Takako NishizakiDoug Maxwell: Honky Tonkin'; Lao Tsu ErhuGene Kardos' Orchestra: My Extraordinary Gal, 1932Yao Lie: Rose Rose I Love YouKevin MacLeod: Medusa; March of the Mind; Despair and TriumphJesse Gallagher: Thin Places Learn more about your ad choices.
