KUALA LUMPUR: A novel set in the country’s past clearly struck a chord with modern-day readers – so much so that they voted it to the top at this year’s Popular-The Star Readers’ Choice Awards (RCA).

Local author Chan Ling Yap’s Where The Sunrise Is Red is a tale of love, lies and resilience during the Emergency in 1950s Malaya.
