noma43 's review for:

The Sun Sets in Singapore by Kehinde Fadipe
5.0

Special thanks to NetGalley for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest opinions. My rating is a 4.5 stars. I loved the debut novel by Kehinde Fadipe. The tone is lyrical and nuanced.

"Forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian soon learn that unfinished history can follow you anywhere, no matter how far you run from home." And yet this story was so much more, families, expat life, where do you and land on the class totem pole with regards to work. We get a glimpse into racism, implicit and explicit biases, sexism, the good ol' boys network and everyone trying to claw their way to the top.
I will be looking for more from this author.
