"Right now, I am reading an early copy of The Original Daughter by Jemimah Wei, out in June 2025, because I am a sucker for stories about sisters — and we need to support our local authors.
The novel is set in turn-of-the-millennium Singapore and explores complex family dynamics, as well as the enduring bonds of sisterhood between Genevieve and Arin.
I have been into this book as it has everything I enjoy, like going through all stages of emotions while vividly relating to the Singapore culture flawlessly blended in the storyline.
