Highlights from the Interview

In the interview, Apple An delves into the influences and techniques behind her creative works, offering an intimate glimpse into her artistic process:

On telling meaningful stories across cultures:

On researching historical fiction:
“Old photos, conversations with family and friends, and thorough investigation using online tools were essential. Writing this novel was also a healing process that allowed me to appreciate my mother’s resilience and bring her life and struggles to vivid reality.”

On crafting immersive settings:
“When I wrote a scene, I saw it playing out before me like a movie. My goal was to ensure readers could see, hear, and experience the story as if they were right beside the characters.”
