The Embassy Of Cambodia by Zadie Smith
A young Ivorian domestic worker in northwest London navigates exploitation and isolation while stealing small moments of freedom, like secret swims at a local health club, and discussing history, faith, and justice with a new acquaintance; all the while, the steady thwack of a badminton game behind the walled grounds of a nearby embassy punctuates her days, reflecting the opaque forces of power that shape her precarious life and an uncertain, quietly resilient path forward.
