Her ability to craft such beautifully human characters while narrating the Asian experience lines up so well with what we are striving for at Seoul Street.” “Cindy’s characters leaped off the page from the moment I opened the book. “It’s an exciting and touching portrayal of love, war, and friendship encapsulated in this incredibly rich and textured world that Cindy has brilliantly created,” she said. In a statement to Deadline, Christine Holder praised Pon’s books. A search is underway for a writer on the project, with those involved hoping to find an Asian American writer to work on the series. The news comes courtesy of Deadline, with the outlet reporting the project is in the early stages. The books are being developed as an international television series.
