• Author is Southeast Asian and British. While living in Kenya, she realized that though she'd been born in Britain, she did not feel British. "I didn't feel as though I came from anywhere. Exploring the feeling of being between cultures and identities?and understanding that it is shared with many people?has been the underpinning for many of the short stories I write."
• This is the author's way to "maintain a discussion about inhumanity and its effects, especially on children."
• Contextualizes the horror of war and displacement, and the struggles of young people in particular to maintain relationships and any sense of control in their lives.
