    Jean Kwok

    Jean Kwok is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Leftover Woman, Searching for Sylvie Lee, Girl in Translation, and Mambo in Chinatown. Her books have been chosen by Read with Jenna’s TODAY show book club, Goodreads Choice, CBS New York, Book of the Month, LibraryReads, and Indie Next, among others, and much of her work is in development for film and television.
