This book, first published in 1983, is now accepted as a classic of its kind. It charts the emotional and spiritual development of an unnamed African-Caribbean woman who recalls a multi-visioned memory of the slave trade, of European cruelty, of African complicity, of rape, of infanticide, of back-breaking plantation work, of sensuality and sexuality, of self-pride in woman/motherhood, of a reawakened consciousness of direction, purpose and destiny.
