Jamaica Kincaid's haunting, deeply charged story of a woman's life on the island of Dominica. A story of love, fear, loss and the forging of character.

Jamaida Kincaid conjures up the world of Dominica in all its beauty and casual cruelty, a world in which the magical coexists with the mundane, a world in which the ghosts of colonialism stil haunt the relationships between men and women.

I could picture sitting on a porch and listening to this woman's life story. With a rich lyrical cadence to her voice and the mystery of one's thoughts and actions throughout life, it is a mesmerizing novel.
