Sarah is trying to settle into her new life in Australia, after she and her family moved here from Singapore. She does not need the added complication of a ghost haunting her after she eats a yam cake intended as an offering during the festival of Hungry Ghosts. Sarah is haunted by Pei, who traveled to Australia during the Gold Rush and drowned off the S.A coast, never knowing if her true love was on his way to meet her or was trying to get rid of her. Sarah must find a way of reuniting the two lovers in death. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
HUNGRY GHOSTS is the story of a young Singaporean-Chinese girl, Sarah, and her family, who migrate to Australia. During the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts Sarah meets the ghost of Pei, a Chinese girl who was not much older than Sarah when she died. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the girls share a common ancestry. Initially reluctant, Sarah helps Pei to discover the truth about events surrounding her death and the lover she believed had betrayed her. Set in contemporary Singapore and Australia, and nineteenth-century China and Australia.Hungry Ghosts is a sprawling tale touching on issues of Chinese immigration to Australia from the 1800s to the present, and the manner and extent to which Chinese cultural identity has been maintained in expatriate Chinese communities. It also looks at the different ways in which the different generations of Sarah s family adapt to life in their new country. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Sarah hadn't wanted to come to Australia. She'd been perfectly happy with things as they were in Singapore where school was for learning, and 'being cool' was a non-issue. Now Dad was trying his best to make her into a 'fair dinkum' Aussie while Mum was determined to hang on to all the old Chinese traditions. As if the kids at Sarah's new school didn't already have enought to give her a hard time about.
