A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Zee Edgell's style seems at first quite bald and unadorned, but develops its own cadence as the narrative starts to mesh together. This is a warm, satisfying story, a testament to struggle and hope which manages to draw in, quite skillfully and simply, wider themes such as environmental profiteering and the role of the evangelical church as aspects of the community's life." --The New Internationalist

"A very fine addition to the canon of novels from the Caribbean by women and to the literature of the region itself." --The Caribbean Writer
