‘Will tear out your heart and heal it in the same breath!’ Eliza Chan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Fathomfolk
‘This confirms Sunyi Dean as one of the most interesting voices in genre fiction.’ Gareth Brown, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Doors
The Girl with a Thousand Faces contends with all manner of ghosts, and beautifully examines the nature of grief, rage, and all that must be put to rest in order to truly live.’ Olivie Blake, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
‘Sunyi Dean returns with a complex, time-twisting, and intensely vivid tale of grief and redemption in historical Hong Kong — with ghosts! I loved it. Nick Binge, bestselling author of Ascension
‘A beautiful and haunting tale about the weight of memory.’ Maithree Wijesekara, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Prince Without Sorrow

This story held me in its spectral thrall and I can’t recommend it enough. An absolute must-read!’ Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching
