Three female voices narrate a story spanning several decades. The tale revolves around Amisa, a low-rate horror movie actress, her daughter Szu and Szu’s friend Circe. Teenage tension is juxtaposed with aging beauty, and the oppressive lives of each is mirrored by the sultry suffocating heat and pollution of Singapore. The boundaries between myth and reality are blurred at times so that I still had some unanswered questions by the story’s end.
