"The Apple and the Tree is a remarkable account of her life, complete with extraordinary insights into the complex politics of Malaysia and the global struggles against HIV in which she has been a central voice. Reading it made me proud to be her friend." —Prof Dennis Altman, former President, AIDS Society of Asia & the Pacific "This book is not just about being the daughter of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad but more so about the special bond that defines the father-daughter relationship. Her lucid style and eloquence coupled with her uncompromising positions on issues make this book fabulously readable. A true gem indeed." —Tan Sri Johan Jaaffar Senior journalist and former Chairman of Media Prima Berhad "Marina takes us deep into the heart of some of the most important and contentious issues in recent history, sharing her principles and motivation for advocating for women, people with HIB and the importance of the creative arts." —Jean MacNeil, author, Professor of Creative Writing, University of East Anglia "Born on the eve of Independence, she traces a nation’s journey from Malaya to Malaysia with her parallel emergence into a formidable social activist and holds to account our conscience and actions in a rapidly changing and often troubled world." —James Chau, International Broadcaster and Host of The China Current "Marina Mahathir’s book is a glimpse into history, both an intimate glimpse into the world of family and a thoughtful exploration of her beloved country, Malaysia, and its extraordinary political turns. A valuable and poignant record." —Fatima Bhutto "Marina Mahathir writes a charmingly low-key presentation of her life story — and what we read is an important historical document. In the annals of autobiography, this book is not the only first-person recount of living with a famous father. But Mahathir Mohamad is not just a famous father; he is a Malaysian icon, a controversial hero in the normally boring parliamentary politics, a leader who brought major changes in the country’s history" —Goenawan Mohamad, Poet, essayist, founder of Indonesia’s Tempo Magazine
