A Today Show #ReadWithJenna Book Club Pick

â??Dazzling . . . I loved this story about friendship, who we lean on, female ambition, and what defines us.â? â??Jenna Bush Hager

The Lion City has gone by many names and is famous for many thingsâ??its decadent street food, its world-class shopping, its lush gardens that burst with tropical blooms. But paradise is always hiding a snake.

For Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, Singapore is opportunity. Every day, brokering deals for her firmâ??s wealthy clientele, she gets closer to her ultimate goal: making partner. For Amaka, a sharp-tongued banker from Nigeria, Singapore is extravagance. Gucci, Prada, Hermèsâ??she loves nothing more than to luxuriate in the major department stores that call her name on Orchard Road. And for Lillian, a former pianist turned â??trailing spouseâ? from the U.S., Singapore is reinvention. In a stunning apartment with 360° views, the island seems to glitter as far as the eye can see.

But complications are looming in the form of an enigmatic stranger, whose presence exposes cracks in Singaporeâ??s beguiling façade. Daraâ??s ambitions mean she has no life outside the firm, and her insecurities are threatening to derail the promotion sheâ??s spent the last six years striving for. Amaka is desperate to escape the chaos she left behind at home and hiding a spiraling shopping addiction thatâ??s endangering her very sense of self. And while Lillianâ??s life may be the envy of outsiders, a new obsession is imperiling everythingâ??and everyoneâ??around her.

In The Sun Sets in Singapore, Kehinde Fadipe captures the richness of this metropolis through the eyes of three tenacious women, who are about to learn that unfinished history can follow you anywhere, no matter how far you run from home.
