But Kindle or not, what an INCREDIBLE insight. Based around 3 Filipina domestic workers’ lives in Singapore, which is infamous for the ‘crazy rich Asians’ scene, this ties in so many interesting themes. Classism and racism are rife and it was fascinating to see how this all arose in Angel, Cora and Donita’s lives.
I’ll put the content warnings for this one down below too 😳
One to DEFINITELY get into. Thank you to Balli Kaur Jaswal for this ✨
