Not long ago, Mamarazzi reviewed a book by Paulo Coelho and a reader by the handle of Nightwing recommended to Mamarazzi books by Khoo Kheng-Hor.
Mamarazzi thus told him that she would try and search for it. But mana tau before Mamarazzi sempat go and search, Auntie Claire presented Mamarazzi a book by Khoo Kheng-Hor. Mamarazzi is really touched by Auntie Claire's thoughtfulness.
Apa lagi. Burn midnight oil for a few nights ler. Really true what Nightwing had said "Great writings by him. ".
Main characters are May Lee, Annie, Fauzi and Rossetta Bunny. Each leading separate life but at one time or another their path crossed.
May Lee was a good girl but was cheated by her boyfriend. Later she had to work for a horrible boss that is till she was accused of theft. Annie who is a Mamasan in a night club befriended her and helped her when she have no where to turn to. Hence begin her life as a Dance Hostess.
Annie, a Mamasan, who is a single mother. Fell in love with a writer who is anti-government. She worry constantly about him.
Fauzi, an honest police. He tried very hard to get rid of the corruption in the Police Force and met with resistance each time. So much that he had contemplate of giving up.
Rossetta a selfish girl who grew up to be a selfish woman which later on lead to the death of one of her pals.
A passionate tale that give vivid portray of the things that happen behind the masks that each person wore.
Mamarazzi felt sad after reading this book. Haiz...very hard to find such great writing as this.
Now, if only Mamarazzi can get her hand on the book titled "Taikor" which is also by Khoo Kheng-Hor. *hint*hint*
