The Night Tiger

by Yangsze Choo

I think you’ll like it there.”

Like my first novel, The Ghost Bride, The Night Tiger also had two alternate endings. In fact the ending you see is the second one that I wrote, and not the original. I thought they were both very satisfying, and really couldn’t decide which way to go. In the end I asked my wonderful literary agent for her thoughts, and she said that she liked this one, because it would be great if Ren could go off with Dr. Rawlings to a brighter future. I also had it in mind to write a follow up book to this one, and actually had the first few chapters sketched out in my mind, picking up almost immediately after The Night Tiger finished. To that end, I went poking around the historic King Edward VII hospital in Singapore, not realizing it is the current headquarters of the Ministry of Health! I wandered in and started taking photographs of the architecture, only to be stopped by security. When asked "Didn't you know this is a government building?" I had to sheepishly admit that I'd been busy looking at a historic map and had assumed it was a national monument open to the public... I’m now currently working on a different novel, but I really enjoyed Ren, Ji Lin, and all the others and one day, I want to find out what happens in the next chapter of their lives. Thank you again for reading The Night Tiger. I am so grateful for all the readers who have come along with me on this journey, and I wish you many more happy hours of reading and discovering new books that you love!
