Sun Sets in Singapore features three female protagonists who embody complexity and hidden depths of character. For Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, Singapore is opportunity. Her ambitions mean she has no life outside of work, and her insecurities are threatening to derail the promotion she's spent the last six years striving for. For Amaka, a sharp-tongued banker from Nigeria, Singapore is extravagance. Amaka is desperate to escape the chaos she left behind at home, hiding a spiraling shopping addiction that's endangering her very sense of self. And for Lillian, a former pianist turned "trailing spouse" from the U.S., Singapore is reinvention. While Lillian's life may be the envy of outsiders, a new obsession is imperiling everything--and everyone--around her. Complications loom in the form of an enigmatic stranger, whose presence exposes cracks in Singapore's beguiling façade.
