Here’s what friend, editor and fellow author Miriam Drori wrote on her blog today.
I’m delighted to welcome back friend and fellow author, Olga Swan, to tell us about an exciting new book.
Thank you, Miriam, for welcoming me onto your author blog. It’s fitting really, because there’s a scene in my new novel where my character’s father is transported to Jerusalem, where you live.
Several months ago, I was watching a TV documentary, which spoke of an unsung hero from WWII. I did some research and discovered that he’d saved 20,000 Jewish citizens of Vienna between 1938 and 1940. His name was Ho Feng Shan, and he never told a soul – not even his family – what he’d done. He died in 1997, and was awarded the posthumous ‘Righteous Amongst the Nations’ honour by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. But I was determined to make this Chinese ‘Schindler’ more widely known, so began writing.
I’m now excited to tell your readers about my new novel, which has just been published. It’s called The Mandarin Seeds.
