Description

_______________'Kerry Young is a stand-alone talent in the new emerging generation of writers from the Caribbean region.

Her stories are gritty and also funny and very real' - Monique Roffey_______________A story of revolution and oppression, privilege and poverty, love and betrayal from the critically acclaimed author of PaoFay Wong is caught between worlds.

Her father is a Chinese immigrant who conjured a fortune from nothing; her African heritage mother grew up on a plantation and now reigns over their mansion in Lady Musgrave Road. But her father’s Chinatown haunts are out of bounds and the airy rooms of their home are filled with her mother’s uncontrollable rages – rages against which Fay rebels as she grows into a headstrong woman. As she tries to escape the restraints of her privileged upbringing, Fay’s eyes are opened to a Jamaica she was never meant to see. And when her mother decides that she must marry the racketeer Yang Pao, she finds herself on a journey that will lead to sacrifice and betrayal.
