- Summary:
- "Singapore, where driven foreign women have a hard time finding work: a Harvard-educated mother struggles to find an outlet for her loaded brain. Meanwhile, her marriage with an asexual husband, who has made Singapore their forever home in a Machiavellian call, unravels. Stamford Hospital follows its disturbed protagonist over two nights, as Tarisa goes through familiar motions of motherhood for their child. The only difference this weekend: she hospitalizes the young Mia even though Mia is barely ill. Using the hospital as childcare, Tarisa lives entrenched in her mind, facing demons whispering that the love she gets from this family unit won't make her own life less devastating. But what is devastation anyway, when everything that leads to it can be rationalized?"--Provided by publisher.
