Comments from BDS Reviewers
"For those who enjoyed John Grisham's early works, this will be catnip!"
"This is a fascinating read. Although it is fiction, there is a lot of factual information around the supply chain of a big corporation."
"An interesting and well-researched story about globalisation and the fashion industry."
"Good insight into how the legal system works or does not work."
"Personal details regarding the characters, the intensity with which the story is told, makes this an excellent read."
"This story has parallels in many societies where international companies can apply undue pressure for cheap goods; even our own is not exempt from exploiting workers."
"The characters' stories are rather predictable however they do carry the story forward and allows the author to delve into the complex reasons behind the exploitation of workers in poorer countries."
