This, the second novel by popular author Joan Riley, is the moving story of Adella, talented seamstress, who moves to Jamaica where life seems to promise so much: a respectable career and the chance at last of professional status. Adella falls in love: first with a policeman, then with Stanton, whom she eventually follows to England... and who then deserts her.
Now a grandmother, Adella waits for her husband to return, haunted by memories and assessing what has been achieved over the years. In this poignant but above all strengthening novel, Joan Riley pulls no punches as she portrays 'the forgotten and unglamorous section of my people' living within a system which openly and systematically discriminates against them.
