Samenvatting
Basking in Singapores nonstop sunshine, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian are living the glamorous expat dreamuntil their carefully constructed lives are upended by a handsome and mysterious new arrival: "Wanderlust-inducing . . . A rich celebration of the nuanced complexities of Black womanhood" (Lola Akinmade Åkerström, international bestselling author).
Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, is on the brink of partnership at her firm. Estranged from her mother, and perpetually uncomfortable around her hypercompetitive colleagues, her insecurities intensify when Lani, a new hire from Geneva, is assigned to work on what should have been her career-making case. Pitted against each other by their boss, Dara cant help but see Lani as a threat: a privileged man poised to take her place.
Amaka, a sharp-tongued banker from Nigeria, is in the midst of a painful family dispute. Thousands of miles away from home, shes doing her best to distract herself with a flirtatious workplace romanceand hiding a spiraling shopping addiction thats endangering not only her finances but her very sense of self. An instant attraction to Lani jeopardizes her relationship and the last shred of stability she has.
Lillian, a pianist turned trailing spouse from the US, is desperately trying to stay in Singapore after her marriage comes to a messy end. Rather than sell her beloved piano, the last precious reminder she has of her parents, she takes a low-paying job at a language school. A chance encounter with Lania man who is inexplicably, impossibly, the spitting image of her late fathertriggers a grief shes spent a lifetime suppressing, leading to an obsession that imperils everythingand everyonearound her.
Forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian soon learn that unfinished history can follow you anywhere, no matter how far you run from home.
