___
A mother fids out her son is gay; a daughter finds out her two mothers are lesbians; a niece stumbles upon the body of her dead uncle dressed in his wife's sarung kebaya; and an old man's nascent feelings for a Filipino maid lead him back to his suppressed art.
The Lies That Build a Marriage is a collection of short stories that focus on the unsung, unsaid, and uncelebrated in Singapore. Singapore Literature Prize-winning author Suchen Christine Lime delves beneath the island's prosperity and coded decorum to reveal genuine people facing difficult issues that are normally strictly taboo. One by one, the characters chisel away the prejudice that surrounds them to sculpt a social acceptance of themselves and their circumstances.
