Shimmering Across Time weaves a fictional tale of one family and their struggles for survival during the tumultuous period of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in China and Southeast Asia. The story begins in Canton, China, at a time when the Qing Dynasty was losing control of the nation. The Qing government’s ineptness sparked political unrest and revolutions that ended the Middle Kingdom’s dynastic rule and forever altered China’s trajectory and presence on the world stage.
During this turbulent time, China experienced a mass exodus of its people abandoning their war-torn country in search of safer havens elsewhere. Much of the migration outflow was dispersed over Southeast Asia. The Yiu family, being uprooted from their home in Canton, embarked on a life-changing journey of traveling to Hanoi and subsequently to Laos. As begrudging participants in this dreadful chapter of human history, the characters in the story had to overcome nearly insurmountable hardships and found hope through staunch friendship, enduring love, and the miraculous. The ups and downs of life pushed them closer to a better understanding of their own humanity.
The author, Mak Ming, endeavors to create enthralling storylines by painstakingly adhering to the historical accuracy of the notable figures and events that shaped China and Southeast Asia during this chaotic period. As told by this novel of high drama, the readers get to experience the human spirit’s perseverance in the face of overwhelming difficulties. In times of great sorrows, man is compelled to grapple with life’s meaning. It is during those deeply sorrowful moments that man encounters the connection of faith and miracles. This powerful narrative will appeal to fans of historical fictions, especially readers who have an interest in learning the Asian culture and customs.
This fascinating story is available now on Amazon in paperbacks and Amazon Kindle. Readers will be in for a literary treat by picking up a copy of Shimmering Across Time.
