    One of the reason I am reading "The Bondmaid" is the era it was set.  Back in early 1950s, "The Bondmaid" captures the ethos of a wealthy and powerful Chinese household in Singapore.  The second reason is I am a fan of this novelist, Catherine Lim. 

     

    I was handed a teaser that is, the first chapter of this book, "Lucy in the sky" and what intrigued me was the flight from London to Australia with a transit in Singapore.  The love plot also got me hooked.

    I have read many extracts of this old time favourite and thought it is about time that I go into the details which were deliberately avoided in the past because of the pain and suffering.
