Synopsis
In spare prose and with laser-like attention to every word, prolific Caribbean writer Elizabeth Nunez returns to the theme of emotional alienation - within the context of class and colour discrimination - so richly developed in her earlier novels. The finest novel yet from a deservedly exalted Caribbean writer.

Review
"A psychologically and emotionally astute family portrait, with dark themes like racism, cancer and the bittersweet longing of the immigrant."
--"New York Times Book Review" (Editors Choice)
"Nunez has created a moving and insightful character study while delving into the complexities of identity politics. Highly recommended."
--"Library Journal" (*starred review*)
"Nunez deftly explores family strife and immigrant identity in her vivid latest . . . with expressive prose and convincing characters that immediately hook the reader."
--"Publishers Weekly" (*starred review*)
"Nunez offers an intimate portrait of the unknowable secrets and indelible ties that bind husbands and wives, mothers and daughters."
--"Booklist"
"The award-winning author of "Prospero's Daughter" has written a novel more intimate than her usual big-picture work; this moving exploration of immigrant identity has a protagonist caught between race, class and a mothers love."
