Swan Song of My Era

by Elsie Swain
$10.90 Now $4.90 Save 55%
Swan Song of My Era
Swan Song of My Era

Ambition, beauty standards, Malaysia-based contemporary fiction.

"Swan Song Of My Era" resonates with anyone who's ever dared to dream despite societal boundaries. Elsie Swain not only tackles the stigma around skin conditions through the eyes of an ambitious vitiligo makeup artist but also dissects gender stereotypes in Asia. At a time when inclusivity is gaining ground, this story mirrors a shift towards embracing diversity, especially in the sometimes insular world of fashion. This book could be a beacon of inspiration for anyone looking to break molds and build empires of their own.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
