About this title

Review:

"Each story is perfect in its own way, from the wonderful celebration of the generic Caribbean grandmother in 'Photograph' to the terrifying magic realism of 'At the Lisbon Plate'... This is political art at its searing best." -- Rhonda Cobham, The Women's Review of Books. "Brooding, obsessive stories of contemporary Black life in Canada and the Caribbean offer an intimate view of women driven by poverty to leave their homes for a hostile new country... her lyrical gifts are unobtrusively displayed and her characters are affecting." -- Publishers Weekly.
