I love this book! It's a beautiful journey into one woman's family in Jamaica. As one reviewer put it:
“Goodison’s memoir reaches back over generations to evoke the mythic power of childhood, the magnetic tug of home, and the friction between desire and duty that gives life its unexpected jolts.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
