Connie Standish asked Jean Kwok:

Hello: just finished reading "Mambo in China Town" and I loved it. Ever thought that maybe a studio would pick up the rights to make a film out of one of your novels? With all the ballroom dancing, I think "Mambo in China Town" would make a great movie.

Jean Kwok Thanks, Connie! First of all, sorry for the late response - I just discovered these questions here! I have been approached about film and television rights for Mambo in Chinatown but these things take a great deal of time, so we have to see how it all works out. I think it'd be a great movie too so fingers crossed!

Hi Jean,trying to get Girl in Translation in hardcover and haven't been able to find, do you know any stores that carry in hardcover not large print? Loved Searching for Sylvie Lee from Jenna's book club,would love to get your other books, eyes too old for paperback and don't absorb much listening to book. Tried Amazon and stores recommended by them. Any suggestions? Thanks for help. Mary Barker

Nell Klein asked Jean Kwok:

I just finished "Searching for Sylvie Lee" and I adored it! There's an actress who plays a reporter in Gotham named Jamie Chung. I think she should play Sylvie in the screen version of "Sylvie Lee." What are the chances?
