Reseña del libro "If Only They Knew (en Inglés)"

The story of Saloma, a minority in Singapore and her struggle to succeed in life and marriage, shaped by her upbringing and relationship with her race This novel asks the questions about the role of women in marriage, the burden of cultural inheritance, the oppression inherent in being a minority and ultimately, the costs of not being true to oneself. Set in the 2010s of Singapore, the story begins with protagonist, Saloma Salem, an entrepreneur who believes that her ethnicity has impeded her success in life. As a result, she steadfastly rejects her race and culture. This strains her relationship with her mother who still lives alone in their small family flat. Determined to be independent, she leads a simple life despite Saloma's generous allowance. Their fractious relationship breaks down when she forces her antiquated beliefs about a wife's role on Saloma. The story tells how far Saloma would go to deny her culture, the efforts she takes to save her marriage and to maintain the image of a perfect life. But her plans go awry, forcing her to confront her own demons.
