Recenzii
A propulsive and engrossing narrative
Two stories intertwine in this exciting tale... I was gripped and romped through it
A compelling and moving mystery in which threads converge and dangers pile up
Two women on a collision course hurtle through twists and turns to an ending that will have you tearing through the last pages. A novel about identity and belonging, ambition and motherhood - it's a triumph
Kwok is a skilled writer of suspenseful family drama
Two women on a collision course hurtle through twists and turns to a high-octane ending that will have you tearing through the pages
A heart-wrenching examination of transracial adoption and its influence... A suspenseful read, but also an introspective journey into the bonds of family, country, class, and race
Kwok writes with such compassion... An impressive, beautiful and atmospheric story, with a couple of twists that will shock the reader
Tautly plotted... Delicately delineated, raising uncomfortable questions about motherhood, race, class and white privilege
A haunting, emotionally powerful story about motherhood, family, oppression, immigration, and power. Kwok is an impressive talent whose books resonate with deeply felt emotion and expertly crafted plotting
At once a hugely atmospheric and suspenseful mystery and a compelling exploration of motherhood and belonging that packs a profound emotional punch. I couldn't stop thinking about this book long after I'd read the final page
Jean Kwok delivers again with The Leftover Woman - a magnetic meditation on secret histories, motherhood, love and how we show up for each other in the most surprising of ways. A beautiful, propulsive story
A heart-tugging exploration of love, belonging and the meaning of family
A thriller with danger and heartbreak at its centre
Kwok has done it again. Her newest novel will make your heart race... As gorgeous as it is thrilling, The Leftover Woman tells a story of identity, ambition, and love that makes us look again at who we are and who we're forced to be
An utterly riveting novel about two very different mothers, The Leftover Woman is not only an absolutely propulsive thriller but also a profound exploration of poverty and privilege, oppression and escape, desire and the self. This spellbinding narrative of immigration and hidden identity proves in so many ways that love has no boundaries
An unforgettable, beautifully written page-turner that's about so many things at once... Kwok uses an intricately layered plot to ensnare and mesmerise us with fierce, complex characters. I absolutely adored this novel, from its tantalising first pages to the poignant ending
The Leftover Woman asks aching questions about family and love even as it hop-scotches across cultures and classes, bringing both tragedy and hope. A marvellous read
Jean Kwok once again delivers suspense and passion within a character-driven framework that readers can't help but lose themselves in... one of the best and brightest books of the year
Kwok brings her signature lyrical prose to the novel, while suspense simmers in the background... Highly recommended
A highly entertaining page-turner
Beautifully nuanced... A powerful novel, a strong drama and a decent thriller. The ending has its poignancy but it's ultimately an uplifting and insightful read
