In this deeply poetic novel, Clare must make sense of her middle-class childhood memories in contrast with another side of Jamaica which she is only now beginning to see: one of extreme poverty. And Jamaica--almost a character in the book--comes to life with its extraordinary beauty, coexisting with deep human tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the course of the book, Clare sees the violence that rises out of extreme oppression, the split loyalties of a colonized person, and what it means to be neither white nor Black in that environment.
