Debra asked Lisa Ko:

You're nominated for the Goodreads Choice award in two categories. What will you do if you win one - or both?

Lisa Ko Hi Debra-- Wow, I'd be thrilled if I won one of the Goodreads Choice awards! I would be so grateful to my readers -- and I'd celebrate, for sure.

Since the story takes place in both Fujian and New York - how much extensive research did you have to do - specifically with the Polly's experience at Ardsleyville?

Haleh asked Lisa Ko:

What inspired you to write your book? Have you met or heard from readers whose families have been torn apart by past and recent immigration policies?

Thomas Pope asked Lisa Ko:

Lisa, so happy you won this prize. No question. I, too, had a novel entered in Pen/Bellwether 2015. Looking forward to reading The Leavers. (Funny, unless I include a question mark, the email won't got through?)
