Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. There are so many things I love of this book! The many references to Peranakan culture. The innocence of love way back then. Baba Malay language and many more. The only one critic would have been the pace towards the ending which felt like being wrapped up soonest. I would have wanted to savour it more I guess and didn’t want it to end 😅 Thanks to the publisher for this awesome book! ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Inspired by a true story, Showers of Luck follows the life of two characters, Lily and Khalid, in pre-war colonial Singapore. Lily is a hard-working young nyonya who stays with her distant aunt's family, the Kongs, following the advice of a fortune-teller that she should be given away after birth. As Lily learns domestic skills, she yearns for a life beyond her home. She admires Khalid, her handsome Muslim neighbour, who is trying to study hard for his Senior Cambridge examinations and fulfill his filial duties to his divorced parents. Spanning a period of two years in pre-war Singapore, against the backdrop of a world preparing to go to war, Lily and Khalid's paths intersect time and again. Consumed by their desires, the couple navigate societal judgment and challenge familial expectations in a brave attempt to start a new life together. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
