Description

The word has gone out that Seduce is dead, and the mourners gather on Church Island in the Caribbean for her wake.

All bring their own memories of Seduce: her daughter Glory prays for the rescue of her mother's soul, but there are also those who have come to make sure that "dutty filthy woman" has finally ceased to be a temptress to the island's husbands.

Her grandchildren, too, both in their different ways marked by growing up in such a conflicted family, strive to find something positive in Seduce's life, and new directions in their own. And then there is Seduce's old lover, Mikey, come to make his peace. In this remarkable debut novel, told in patois prose that is poetic and delicate, profane and slyly funny, Desiree Reynolds has powerful things to say about race, class and the struggle between the sexes. Desiree Reynolds started her writing career in London as a freelance journalist for the Jamaica Gleaner and the Village Voice.

She has gone on to write film scripts, poetry and short stories; Seduce is her first novel.

A teacher, broadcaster and DJ, Desiree currently lives in Sheffield.
