Book Review: The Dohmestics by Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar
????????? Six women live in the same gated community. Three are women of means. Three serve them. This poignant tale crosses racial, socio-economic, & moral barricades.
????????? Our first trio- Edna, Amira, & Noof- are well-off & mostly utilize their time fretting over their families & their help. Maria, Lillie, & Maya run these households as maids & nannies.
????????? Edna is the neutral party. Currently without ?help?, her main concern is her husband?s fidelity. Noof fears the same, but us kind to her nanny/maid Maria & tries to help her. Amira on the other hand has a nasty temper with her aide, Maya. Maya is treated more like a slave than hired help. Lillie floats from home to home while supplementing her income in more shady lines of work.
????????? All 6 have issues. The wealthy fret over keeping up appearances while the help desire to send money home to their own families. When disaster hits within the tight-knit walls of the community, there?s a ripple that affects all six- with devastating results. Join in the story to laugh & cry with these unique ladies!
????????? Fabulous from start to finish, there isn?t a thing that I didn?t love about ?The Dohmestics?. Each of the women is vastly extraordinary yet entirely believable. From a plot standpoint, it is fresh & original. I want to stand up & cheer that we finally have a book for women that doesn?t involve impossible romantic situations or shopping addictions! This is a book about women that you?ll want to recommend to your friends. I sure did.
????????? It is absolutely clean & any risky scenes are more implied than described. Its proof that a book can be written that will appeal to a majority of women of all ages. An absolute ?must read? 5 star novel, it?ll be perfect for summertime reading and/or book clubs. I?m confident that you?ll love it as I did.
I received 1 eBook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
