Souls the Gods had forsaken

My latest reading ....a loan from my sista...simple story...story about a girl immigrant from China and her journey in life...being trashed at birth during those era when girl was less valuable compared to the other gender, sold away to a childless couple in Singapore....betrayed and became concubine-of-sort to the foster father ( for being a master of the house)...carrying the foster father's child at the age of 14...later fled from home with her baby Ching Ling on the day of birth to a "deathhouse"--- a place where dying people was stationed by family member to wait for their final day.....i wonder if there is such a place these days....horror nya.....

second part--the upbringing of her baby....and ends with story of Ching Ling..


I think the story is ok...it's quite interesting as it touches quite a bit on traditions, customs and belief. If you into that genre, try this novel...simple english....senang lagi menyenangi :)
Adios!
