Fiction Standout #1: The Mystery of the Bitten Peach by @ceciliatan.com involves time travel and history and love, and my favorite part of it is the way the end plays out.

I just finished reading The Mystery of the Bitten Peach by Cecilia Tan, and what a fun, thought provoking romp through time and relationship and identity. I still can’t believe how much was packed into 131 pages.

Book cover reads: Cecilia Tan, The Mystery of the Bitten Peach. Features a Chinese person in Chinese garments holding a dragon mask that covers one eye in one hand, and a large jade peach in the other.
