Susanna Ho

Susanna Ho’s first novel, Mother’s Tongue: A Story of Forgiving and Forgetting depicts how a woman’s language and her destiny are intertwined. Her second Who's that Ant? Whose Dead End? is a political satire that raises issues about education through the eyes of ants. She continue to write stories about how politics influences ordinary people’s lives and is inspired to give a voice to those who are voiceless. Drawing from her experiences in Hong Kong, Canada, and China, she wrote A Blissful Moment of Nothingness, to investigate the importance of time and place. She moved to Tasmania in 2020, and took up writing full-time. Her essays and reviews can be found at http://www.susannaho.asia
