Reviews for Katie Goes To KL:
“Su-May Tan captures the longings of youth and the ache of displacement with beauty and vivacity. A stunning debut.”
– Kathryn Heyman
“Tan has an uncanny way of bringing out beauty in the smallest details. An enjoyable read for anyone wanting to lose themselves in the magic of KL.”
– Rachael Love Lewis
“I enjoyed the way Katie navigates and feels at home in both Melbourne suburbia and urban Malaysia. It’s special when a writer doesn’t structure their work around a neat polarity.”
– May Lam
