A Mesmerizing Tale of Struggle, Discovery, and Connection

⭐⭐⭐⭐

In Alexandra Carey's "The Light That Bends Round Corners," we dive into a world where two women, Laura and Mariel, find their lives entwined in the heart of Malaysia. Laura, a London-based fashion journalist, faces a dramatic shift when she moves with her family to Kuala Lumpur. Amidst the exotic landscape, her journey becomes one of self-discovery, navigating the challenges of a new life.

Mariel, the Filipina maid Laura hires, adds depth to the narrative with her resilience against an abusive past and the ongoing battle against prejudice. Together, their stories weave through the beauty and dangers of Malaysia, creating a poignant exploration of identity and the human spirit.

Carey's storytelling is a delicate dance between pain and humor, offering a heartfelt account of cultures colliding. "The Light That Bends Round Corners" is not just a novel; it's a captivating experience that invites readers to reflect on the transformative power of connection and the beauty found in life's unexpected turns. A truly human tale that lingers in the heart. 🌺
