Hi there!
It’s June – the curtain to summer! This weekend was much better than the last for sure. I worked out, had delicious meals and enjoyed my downtime. I’m looking forward to taking in more experiences this summer.
Here’s my reading highlight:
The Sun Sets in Singapore by Kehinde Fadipe
4 stars
I struggled to describe what category the book was in apart from literary fiction, but I couldn’t tell why. However, towards the end, I figured it out – it’s because it follows Amaka, Dara and Lillian and their obsession as they live as migrants in Singapore. The setting – these women being Nigerian and living in Singapore as migrants, was interesting as it seemed like the only thing connecting them. However, further into the book, we learn that their obsessions are also connected.
It was a great debut novel and I’ll be keen to read more from the author! It was also fun how I had read all the books, except one, mentioned and picked for the book club the three female leads were in.
