THE SUN SETS IN SINGAPORE

Dami Olukoya juggles the three central female characters in this audiobook. The lives of these expatriates play out amid the luxury of Singapore. Olukoya moves between Dara, an ambitious lawyer on her way to making partner; Amaka, a banker obsessed with designer brands; and Lillian, the newbie expat wife. Olukoya sets a quick pace, playing up the humor laced throughout the dialogue. This fast-moving story brings the women together through their strongest desires. Olukoya expertly builds suspense and carries listeners along. Will Dara lose her promotion due to lack of sleep, rising stress, and her inability to navigate office politics? Can Amaka afford to keep shopping at the astonishing rate she does? And will Lillian's past come back to threaten everything she holds dear?
