From Reese's Book Club veteran Balli Kaur Jaswal comes an absolute tour de force--the wildly entertaining and sharply observed story of three women who work in the homes of Singapore's elite, and band together to solve a murder mystery involving one of their own. Corazon, Donita, and Angel are Filipina domestic workers--part of the wave of women sent to Singapore to be cleaners, maids, and caregivers. Corazon: A veteran domestic worker, Cora had retired back to the Philippines for good, but she has returned to Singapore under mysterious circumstances. Now she's keeping a secret from her wealthy employer, who is planning an extravagant wedding for her socialite daughter. Donita: Barely out of her teens, this is Donita's first time in Singapore, and she's had the bad luck to be hired by the notoriously fussy Mrs. Fann. Brazen and exuberant, Donita's thrown herself into a love affair with an Indian migrant worker. Angel: Working as an in-home caregiver for an elderly employer, Angel is feeling blue after a recent breakup with the woman she loves. She's alarmed when her employer's son suddenly brings in a new nurse who may be a valuable ally...or meant to replace her. Then an explosive news story shatters Singapore's famous tranquility--and sends a chill down the spine of every domestic worker. Flordeliza Martinez, a Filipina maid, has been arrested for murdering her female employer. The three women don't know the accused well, but she could be any of them; every worker knows stories of women who were scapegoated or even executed for crimes they didn't commit. Shocked into action, Donita, Corazon, and Angel will use their considerable moxie and insight to piece together the mystery of what really happened on the day Flordeliza's employer was murdered. After all, no one knows the secrets of Singapore's families like the women who work in their homes..."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Jaswal Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
