Beschreibung

'This is where she sleeps. A cupboard. A bedroom. A windowless box.'

In the blistering heat of Singapore, sisters Dolly and Tala spend their days enabling ex-pats to have lives that they could never afford for themselves.

Dolly can just about live with her maid's job if it means she's able to support her beloved young daughter back in the Philippines. One day - if she's lucky - Dolly may even be able to go back and see her.

Tala, however, just can't keep her mouth shut about the punitive rules maids are forced to abide by on pain of deportation. She risks everything to help her fellow maids, who have struggled to have their voices heard for far too long.

Über den Autor
This is Fiona Mitchell's first novel. Inspired by the author's own experience of life in Singapore and extensive research, it is an eye-opening novel about life as a maid; a universal issue affecting us all. There are now 230,000 female domestic workers in Singapore and an estimated 53 million people working as domestic helpers across the globe - a quarter of these are afforded no legal rights at all.
