Ali describes her difficult years struggling under the stern discipline of her illiterate and ignorant mother and the emotional turmoil resulting from triangulation between herself and her parents. In relating her accounts, Ali gives vivid descriptions of Singapore before its modern development and the rich potpourri of food and culture of its pioneer immigrants. Many of the places described have now given way to development.
