Barbara Lalla’s beautifully written novel explores a universal question: when, where and how does one grow old with dignity. The intricate story unfolds in Jamaica and Trinidad and tells a moving and suspenseful tale of families dealing with ageing in a shifting culture, where British-colonial influences clash with modern Jamaican politics, and lawlessness is on the increase.
