In this extraordinary collection of ten stories, Jamaica Kincaid plunges us into an intensely physical world, partly remembered, partly divined; a childhood in the Caribbean transformed by her haunting and visionary style. In this world, there's a dangerous group of supernatural women called the jablesses and ghosts of people long gone. Kincaid vividly captures the experience of growing in this lush, exotic and paradise, where sensuality, fierce emotion, poverty coexist uneasily with teatime, churchgoing and more.
