Books for almost every type of Mum

ARTY MUM

This is possibly one of the most ambitious novels ever written by a Singaporean. Delayed Rays Of A Star centres on 3 female icons of classic cinema – Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong and Leni Riefenstahl – whose fates briefly intersect in a snapshot taken at a party in Berlin in 1928. From that moment on, their lives take on very different paths that largely reflect the social and political transformations taking place across Europe and the US. Blending research and imagination, the novel breathtakingly charts their lives from their incipient stardom to their deaths – a feat that the Arty Mum familiar with these film legends would no doubt appreciate.
