The Man Who Wore His Wife’s Sarong

Stories of the Unsung, Unsaid and Uncelebrated in Singapore. A mother finds out her son is gay; a daughter finds out her two mothers are lesbians; a niece stumbles upon the body of her dead uncle dressed in his wife's sarong kebaya; and an old man's nascent feelings for a Filipino maid lead him back to his suppressed art. This book delves beneath the sunlit island's prosperity and coded decorum. Her characters chip away prejudice and sculpt it into acceptance of the other. Previously published in part as 'The Lies That Build a Marriage' this new collection contains five additional stories.
