True to Taiping, Perak legend, it is bucketing rain when I meet Liew Suet Fun on the verandah of the New Club, overlooking the Esplanade.

Author of more than 20 non-fiction titles, including After Long Rainy Afternoons: Of Taiping And Her People and Musings From The Nest – written during her years as the last full-time resident of Maxwell Hill – Liew now lives in the lowlands of town.
