Successful Book Launch for Tim Murgatroyd

The evening included a reading from actress Beth Pelleymounter and also translator, Dr Lily Chen, used the occasion to announce that The Mandate of Heaven was to be translated into Chinese. Both of Tim’s previous books set in medieval China, Taming Poison Dragons and Breaking Bamboo, have already been published in China – a fitting testament to the authenticity of Tim’s novels.
The Gift of Rain trail is here!
In conjunction with George Town Literary Festival 2013, this tourist trail, commissioned by Penang Global Tourism, has been designed by Su Aziz as a way for you to experience The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng.
On this trail, you’ll get to know parts of Penang island mentioned in the book. From the moment you step onto the boat to absorb the sights, sounds and scents of Penang’s northern coast line – fringed by Weld Quay, Tanjung Tokong, Tanjung Bungah and Batu Ferringhi – the book’s venues and plot will begin to come alive.
For more information on this wonderful and unique opportunity please visit the Timeout website here.
