EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS

A Painted Moment by Jennifer Ching

"The main themes of the novel are self-growth and friendship. Ching has painstakingly illustrated the inevitable moment of self-independence pressing upon us in due time." —  Flora Mak, in Cha: An Asian literary Journal, Issue 12, September 2010.

"In the work of Jennifer Ching, Hong Kong has found a new and welcome voice in fiction. And, as one among the many worlds well-chosen words create, A Painted Moment is a slender, but significant, novel. In it, the sum total of human experience pushes forward a fraction, inclining immeasurably (if perceptibly) towards the light. There is growth, there is being, there will be a tomorrow. I look forward to Ms Ching's next novel unreservedly." — Stuart Christie, HKADC Examiner
