This book only perpetuates the stereotypes of alien foreign countries and useless expats. The number of inacurracies in the book might well lead one to believe the author either never spent time in Singapore or lived there in the 19th century.

Even if you've never been to Singapore, you'll feel like you have after reading this book. The descriptions of the places are so colorful that you are immediately transported there. The characters stay with you.

The intertwining of three women is fascinating to watch, especially as each must face a particular challenge.

Set in the exotic Pacific Rim, this book is a must read for expatriates and their spouses. The characters are interesting and easy to identify with, especially for readers who have shared the experience of living outside their home countries. The situations in which the characters find themselves will also be of particular interest to expatriates, many of whom will feel that the writer is speaking directly to them.
