A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:

February 28th is a national holiday in Taiwan and it's just around the corner. But how many know the somber significance behind the date and what it commemorates?

Author Jennifer J. Chow has written a novel inspired by the 228 Incident (which refers to February 28, 1947).

I spoke with her about the 228 Incident and how it relates to her novel, The 228 Legacy. Jennifer has a new book coming out in March, it's a cozy mystery novel called, Mimi Lee Gets A Clue. We also spoke about that, her other book projects and her writing process.
