The House of Little Sisters
The House of Little Sisters
Eva Wong Nava
Singapore, 1931. Sixteen-year-old Ah Mei is sold into domestic servitude, becoming one of the mui tsai—young Chinese girls forced to serve wealthy households. When she encounters the ghost of another young servant, she begins to uncover the hidden stories of women whose lives have been shaped by exploitation and silence. As Ah Mei falls in love with Hassan, an aspiring poet, she must find the courage to challenge the social hierarchies that threaten to determine her future. Blending historical fiction, romance, and supernatural elements, this is a haunting story of resilience, forbidden love, and the struggle for freedom.
