If It Were Up to Mrs Dada

Today is National Day. It is also Cheryl Dada's birthday. As Elderflower Home prepares for the celebration, Cheryl Dada too gets ready for her party. Between the hours of noon and seven p.m., she encounters the cantankerous residents and caregivers, her mother and people of yesteryears. What unfolds is a story about a woman coming to terms with age, loss and love. © 2018 by Carissa Foo. Published in paper format in Singapore by Epigram Books, recorded by Storyside 2019.
