  • Strong character development? Yes

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This got a little didactic in places (felt like each character was created to address a specific issue), I didn't really care for the murder mystery side plot, and everything got a little too fantastical for me at the end, but overall I enjoyed this book about Filipino domestic workers in Singapore a lot. How do you live as a human in these circumstances is a question that each character is trying to answer in her own way.
