The Sun Sets in Singapore
by Kehinde Fadipe
The Sun Sets in Singapore tells the story of three Nigerian expat women in their thirties - Dara, Amaka, and Lillian - living in Singapore. Dara is a workaholic lawyer and is laser focused on making partner. Amaka is a credit risk officer with a serious addiction to designer fashion. Lillian is a pianist turned English teacher whose young marriage is on the rocks. When a new lawyer gets hired at Dara's firm, the handsome mystery man somehow ends up bringing chaos into all three of the women's lives.
I really enjoyed this debut novel; I found it to be well-written and captivating all the way through. The end of every chapter created tension that had me dying to read that character's next chapter. I enjoyed seeing all three of the women's stories come to satisfying resolutions and I felt that all three of their characters were well-developed and showed growth by the end of the book. I enjoyed all of the cultural references about Singapore and Nigeria and the author describes settings beautifully and in detail. I also really liked the book club scenes, and I added a few titles to my TBR list!
Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read this e-ARC.
