In two worlds
- Book: The Ghost Bride
- Location: Malaysia (Malaya)
- Author: Yangsze Choo
The setting of this book, a Chinese community in Malaysia, is very vividly drawn. We see not only its own customs, but a contrast with the customs of mainland China, and also several different social classes, from the Westernized and Christianized man that the heroine thinks of marrying, to a rich old family, to servants; and the locations are depicted too. I thought that the ultimate resolution of the story was satisfying in that the heroine made a choice that was in line with her cultural background.
