For readers of The Help and The Invention of Wings, a searing and sweeping debut novel that gives a new and unforgettable perspective on modern day domestic workers.
īThis is where she sleeps. A cupboard. A bedroom. A windowless box.ī
Sisters Dolly and Tala have never felt further from home. In the blistering heat of Singapore, they spend their days enabling ex-pats to have lives they could never afford for themselves.
Even though she has little freedom, Dolly can just about live with her job if it means sheīs able to support her beloved young daughter back in the Philippines. One day - if sheīs lucky - Dolly may even be able to go back and see her.
Tala, however, just canīt keep her mouth shut about the restrictive, archaic 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.
In a world where domestic workers are treated so poorly, The Maidīs Room explores how women can come together to change each otherīs lives, and be the architects of their own futures..
