Kai Shan married into a wealthy family who revel in their status at the peak of Singapore's rigidly delineated social pyramid. Her life now, with its full-time household staff, luxurious parties and five-star holidays, bears no resemblance to that of her parents when she was growing up. She should be happy, she knows she should. But she can't shake the feeling that something is rotten in the very core of her husband's family.
When she stumbles across a photo she was never meant to see, her worst suspicions are confirmed. Now, she must decide whether she can forget what she has seen and preserve the lifestyle she thought she wanted, or reveal her husband's secret, with potentially devastating consequences...
At once nail-biting and thought-provoking, In the Beginning No One Spoke is a sharply insightful novel about complicity, secrets, and the courage it takes to speak out.
