In this episode of The Jane Healey Happy Hour, Jane Healey talks with #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lim about Fishbone Cinderella, her adult debut inspired by her grandmother’s experiences in wartime China and postwar Hong Kong. Lim shares how a Chinese Cinderella tale—with magical fish bones instead of a fairy godmother—helped shape this mother-daughter story and its elements of magical realism. She also discusses the surprising history of soy milk in occupied Hong Kong, weaving family history into fiction, and why this deeply personal novel took more than a decade to write.
