I received a complimentary copy of the Dohmestics form the author, but this does not affect my honest review!The Dohmestics was a beautiful novel. I will say that I have read other works by this author, and have always been mesmerized by the intricate care that she takes in weaving her tales. The Dohmestics was no different:) The story follows six women, three are maids and nannies with the other three their employers. The story details the relationship amongst the women who come from varying socio-economic status as well as different barriers involving race and ethics.As always Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar gives a inside view of a culture, reflecting the ups and downs of a people who love, hate and are trying to live their daily loves as triumphantly as possible.The Dohmestics was extremely  well written,with wonderful details that caused the characters to be  full and rich, making them seem alive on the page. Rajakumar is a master at digging into the depth of the culture she is revealing, creating an experience which is entertaining as well as educational.The story was built with care, never lagging, but flowing poetically drawing the reader further into each page.Beautifully written, pleasant pacing, an engrossing treat.I fully recommend The Dohmestics as a must read!
