Set on the verdant island of Jamaica, this collection of 22 short stories offers lush depictions of love, loss, and yearning. Lorna Goodison, an internationally recognized poet and acclaimed author (From Harvey River, a Memoir), turns her keen eye on the very human and flawed relationships of both the upper and lower classes, and captures every nuance.
