Very tender and touching, I really appreciated the care that was given to sharing the stories of the domestic workers coming from the Philippines. While I can’t speak to the accuracy of the description being from neither Singapore or the Philippines, it appeared that the author did a good bit of research into the realities of the treatment of these women.

I felt like the book did have quite a lot of exposition before moving into the action of the plot. I wouldn’t say that it is “slow” per se, but it is a lot of waiting before you really get to any of the plot movement.
