First of all I must say this story will pull you in right from the start and keep you right on a reading until the very last page. I felt that this was both a compassionate yet disturbing story. It is about the lives of three women (Edna, Amria, and Noof) who live fairly prominent lives and their three female servants (Lillie, Maria, and Maya).This book is full of never-ending drama as you would think typical for so many women together in one place. We all know, sad but true maybe, that women commonly stab each other in the back or easily get jealous of one another. Women will always keep secrets from one another or tell each others secrets to others, and this story is a perfect example of this.I loved getting to know these women and seeing how they related to / and got along with each other.  I must say that I was quite surprised by the relationships that the women had with their servants.  Actually, as the story progresses, you begin to feel very sympathetic for the servants.Lastly, I just wanted to say that this book is a good example of how some rich and powerful people can sometimes over abuse their power and treat their hired help very poorly. It's actually distressing how often this actually happens in everyday life.
