Pickpick

A rather melancholy and depressing read but I still liked it. The MC returns to #kuwait where his Filipino mother became pregnant by the ‘master‘ of the house when she worked as a maid. The way that his Kuwaiti ‘family‘ treat him is terrible, as he has brought shame on them and ‘people will talk‘.

It‘s beautifully written and you get a real insight into #kuwaiti culture.

#readingasia2021 Also could be used for #philippines
