Sunyi Dean is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters. Originally born in Texas and raised in Hong Kong, she now resides in a Yorkshire cottage full of music and books. Her most recent novel, The Girl with a Thousand Faces, was inspired by her upbringing: her old high school was once a mission house on the edge of the original Walled City of Kowloon, and her grandparents survived the Japanese occupation during World War II.
