Join our October International Book Club as we explore Kirstin Chen’s sharp and entertaining novel *Counterfeit*, which delves into themes of identity, morality, and female empowerment through the story of Ava Wong, a strait-laced Chinese American lawyer drawn into a high-stakes scheme importing counterfeit luxury goods. This session will feature special guest Clifford Garstang, author of *The Last Bird of Paradise*, whose novel also set in Singapore connects the lives of two women across a century. He will share insights into Singaporean history, culture, and storytelling, enriching our discussion of Chen’s work. Attendees can purchase both books at Staunton Books & Tea for a 10% discount.
