read in a fever' EMILY ITAMI'Seismic' JONATHAN ESCOFFERY WHO WOULD
YOU SACRIFICE AT THE ALTAR OF AMBITION? Singapore, 1996. Before
Arin, Genevieve Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and
grandmother in a single-room flat in Bedok, she is saddled with an
unexpected sibling when Arin appears, the shameful legacy of a
grandfather long believed to be dead.At once collaborators and
sisters, Gen and Arin grow up inseparable, navigating the intensity
of life in working-class Singapore - where urgent insistence on
achievement demands self-immolation in the realms of imagination,
work, and play.But as the rapidly modernising, winner-takes-all
world threatens to leave one behind as the other's star rises
exponentially, the sisters must weigh their allegiances and bonds,
the cost of success and ultimately reckon with who they've become.
What results is a story that cracks open the fault lines of
Singaporean society, our desperate need for acceptance and our
yearning to be loved.Vivid and visceral, The Original Daughter is a
breathtaking act of empathy by a new literary star.'A tour de force
that I'll never forget' QIAN JULIE WANG'Thrilling . .. so much the
real deal' KAVEH AKBAR'Heartfelt and meticulously written' SHARLENE
TEO'A true literary talent' TASH AW
