A compelling debut filled with emotion as it examines a dysfunctional family life. The writing is propulsive, and the chapters are short encouraging the reader to read just one more chapter! The description of Singapore life with the demanding pressures to be successful are heart wrenching. The characters were fully developed and felt real.

A terrific book for book clubs who may not be aware of Singapore culture and who want a character driven book. I am already looking forward to the next book by Jemimah Wei.
