2023: Dara, Amaka, and Lillian are living the dream – until their carefully constructed lives are upended by a handsome and mysterious new arrival
In Such Tremendous Heat
What you need to know before your trail
Dara, a workaholic lawyer, is on the brink of partnership at her firm when Lani, a new hire from Geneva, is assigned to work on what should have been her career-making case.
Amaka, a sharp-tongued banker, is in the midst of a painful family breakdown. An instant attraction to Lani, despite her lovely boyfriend, jeopardizes her last shred of stability.
Lillian, a piano-prodigy-turned-housewife, is desperately trying to remain in Singapore after her marriage comes to a messy end. A chance encounter with Lani-a man who is inexplicably, impossibly, the spitting image of her late father-triggers a grief she’s spent a lifetime suppressing.
Forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian soon learn that unfinished history can follow you anywhere – even to Singapore.
Travel Guide
Nigerian expats in Singapore
This book follows the lives of three Nigerian expat women living in Singapore: Dara, the workaholic lawyer; Amaka, the banker; and Lilian, a former piano prodigy turned housewife. The city is well evoked for the places they go and circles they move in. Wait until Lani enters the scene though.
A fun way to see the world of Singapore through the eyes of expats and Nigerian women at that.
