Fiona Mitchell is an award-winning writer and has worked as a journalist for many years. She spent almost three years living in Singapore and now lives in London with her husband and daughter. The Maid's Room is her first novel.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
'This is where she sleeps. A cupboard. A bedroom. A windowless box.'
In the blistering heat of Singapore, sisters Dolly and Tala spend their days enabling ex-pats to have lives that they could never afford for themselves.
Dolly can just about live with her maid's job if it means she's able to support her beloved young daughter back in the Philippines. One day - if she's lucky - Dolly may even be able to go back and see her.
Tala, however, just can't keep her mouth shut about the punitive rules maids are forced to abide by on pain of deportation. She risks everything to help her fellow maids, who have struggled to have their voices heard for far too long.
