Set in Singapore in the 1910s, A Nyonya Mosaic is the story of a young girl growing up in a slowly changing world. William relates the childhood impressions of his nyonya mother through her own eyes- the scenes of happiness, birthdays and weddings; and the inevitable disease and death; the childish passions and fear woven through the mosaic of a strict and sometimes unrelenting culture; as intricate and as colourful in its every detail.
