Wong creative writing fellowship at the University of East Anglia. She lives in London and Rye.
Review:
"Wendy Law-Yone does not merely report on a lost world: she recreates it in words for our benefit. In a clear-cut style, lucid and poetic, she offers us the experience of loss, learning and redemption. The Road to Wanting is a hauntingly beautiful book" -- Alberto Manguel "Sheds garish light on the world of shadows and misery in which Burma's abused minorities live" * Independent * "Poetic... engaging...full of witty observations, dialogue and characterisations" * Bookmunch * "One of those books that you look back on and wonder how so much has happened in such a few pages. I think the last book that made me want to reach into its pages and rescue the main character to quite this extent was Tess of the D'Urbervilles... powerful. [Na Ga] is a character that will stay with me for a long time" * www.bookbag.co.uk *
