Review

The story covers domestic workers from abroad and their treatment (ill treatment in this case) by British employers. The tale is told alternately by Dora (the employer) and Mona (the Moroccan employee)which works well as a narrative device. She has been employed to look after Dora’s ageing father who has dementia but quickly becomes the house slave.
