Welcome to Litsy!

I had no idea what to expect from this ARC when I read in the front matter how it was published: “Unbound website, authors share the ideas for the books they want to write directly with readers. If enough of you support the book by pledging for it in advance, we produce...” I ended up loving this story about the abuses perpetrated by wealthy householders against their maids In Singapore. There was much depth and believability in these characters.

What an amazing book, the writing was just so emotional and evocative I have been transported to Singapore. I loved the separate POV‘s as it gave each character their own voice and personality. Tragic, sad, anger inducing and then hope and love, a book to touch your soul. This will,stay with me for a long time and I‘m going to have to read it again soon.

Thanks to The Pigeonhole and Tabatha Stirling for the opportunity to read this

I‘m currently reading this via The Pigeonhole, it‘s a brutal heartbreaking tale of Indonesian housemaids in Singapore. It‘s slavery by any other name and not an easy read. I‘m about halfway and it‘s making me both angry and upset at the same time, some brilliant writing and I‘m intrigued as to how this will end……tough stuff.

Just starting this on the Pigeonhole ....not really sure as yet what it‘s about as only first stave issued today
