Description
The Accidental Malay by Karina Robles Bahrin is a powerful exploration of identity, culture and belonging. When Jasmine inherits her family's business after her grandmother's unexpected passing, she discovers a shocking truth about her own heritage.
This novel examines the human cost of racial policies in Malaysia through the eyes of its protagonist, who finds herself caught between two men and torn between her old life and a new sense of self. With nuance and generosity, Bahrin paints a portrait of a woman refusing to accept the fate history has designated for her.
A thought-provoking and emotionally charged read, The Accidental Malay is a story that will resonate with anyone interested in contemporary Malaysian culture and politics.
