‘Singing With The Orphans' addresses longstanding hierarchies of class and race, and their colonial and postcolonial intersections, from inside the world of a Roman Catholic orphanage, run by Sister Abigail, and the home of wealthy white patrons, the Stirlings. Deftly told and expertly crafted, we were impressed by the layers of subtle meaning in the depiction of adolescent heroine, Patrice, who possesses a rebellious will to self-fashion for herself a future of her own.’ - Faizal Deen (judge)
