I cannot give away the story line for such a beautiful book. There are themes about gender inequality, survivor’s guilt, self-unawareness, lack of belonging & depression. There were emotions ranging from disgust to pity to shock to anger to misery to hope. Talking about the writing style, it caused pain to read the story. We see how they treated young women mainly. We read about Japan’s occupation during Singapore in the 1940s. Like many historical fiction novels, this one is set during the Second World War. We see Wang Di in the present, we see her in the past during the 1940s, and lastly there’s Kevin. The book is divided into three parts the first and third parts are shortest with the majority of the story in the second part. Hope you enjoy the review as much as I struggled to find the perfect words for it! ~~WRITING STYLE~~ So, here I am pondering over my thoughts on the last book I read. Unfortunately, like majority of the resorts, this one has dim light in the rooms, in which I just cannot get any reading done. I have 4 days off, so I am away on a staycation! There is a lot of relaxing time to read, write & sleep. Hi Readers! I am writing this review from the cozy bed in a resort at Lonavala.
