📝 SYNOPSIS:

"A delightful blend of Mary Poppins and Malaysian ghost stories. The co-winner of the 2021 Epigram Books Fiction Prize!"

Set in 1890s Singapore, The Formidable Miss Cassidy is a charming and spooky romp through colonial history. Lora Cassidy is no ordinary governess; she is a professional who handles unruly children and supernatural entities with equal poise.

When she arrives at the home of Mr. Bentley, she finds a family plagued by more than just bad manners—there are toyol, pontianak, and ancient spirits lurking in the shadows of the tropical night. Meihan Boey masterfully weaves together:

• Victorian Gothic Meets Malay Folklore: A unique "East-meets-West" supernatural mystery.

• A Strong Female Lead: Miss Cassidy is capable, witty, and entirely unfazed by the ghouls of the Straits Settlements.

• Historical World-Building: A vivid portrayal of old Singapore, from the bustling port to the quiet, haunted bungalows of the elite.

Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize and the Epigram Books Fiction Prize, this novel is perfect for fans of Gail Carriger or anyone who loves a ghost story told with heart and a sharp sense of humor.
