Behind the Book with Yangsze Choo

Yangsze Choo will be discussing her New York Times bestselling book, The Ghost Bride, a novel infused with Chinese folklore, romantic intrigue, and unexpected supernatural twists. Li Lan is pressured to become a ghost bride for the recently deceased son of the wealthy Lim family—a rare tradition meant to calm a restless spirit and secure her future. As she is drawn into the eerie world of the Chinese afterlife, Li Lan must uncover dangerous family secrets and the truth about her own past.
