"Whether she is describing the kaleidoscopic panorama of Kuala Lumpur, or the prickly solitude of a traveller in Turkey, Rumaizah demonstrates a generous capacity for observation."

Found in The Star's Reading Room - The Female Cell in a Capsule
The Female Cell Author: Rumaizah Abu Baker Publisher: Silverfish Books, 186 pages
THIS debut collection of short stories is divided into two parts: the first, Loves, Lies And Lives, comprises 12 works of fiction, and the second, Travel Tales, ...delves into the author’s adventures while touring countries like Egypt, Thailand, Turkey and the Philippines.
Whether the author, Rumaizah Abu Bakar, is writing about a solitary bead that somehow managed to escape from the confines of a necklace, a crazy physics professor who haunts a train, a keepsake in the form of a liver kept in a jar or, simply, life in the humid tropics of Malaysia, the focus is on human emotions and interactions, details and painstaking observations.
