Now You See Us by Balli Kaur Jaswal

4.0

I picked up this book on my weekly visit to my local public library for books. I was interested in reading this author because I really enjoyed her book, “Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows.” Review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4915355566

Sometimes you never know if an author can recreate the energy they brought to their writing for their third novel, but I was ready to find out.

Once again, the author takes us into a story with strong and relatable characters and an engaging plot.

It is also seeped with a compelling message that explores oppression and class disparities amongst domestic workers and their employers and the exploitation of immigrant labor.

And then of course, throw in a bit of a murder mystery, and it becomes even more intriguing with sleuthing maids.

Disturbing. Challenging. And yet…a story of courage and hope. A must read!
