Description
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.
