Harriet's Daughter (Caribbean Writers Series) (Paperback)

"The novel successfully challenges stereotypical notions of bothstrong, matriarchal black mothers and of poor, abused powerless black women... a valuable contribution to Caribbean and postcolonial literature."
- Choice

A beautifully written and paced story, sure to capture the imagination of both teenagers and adult readers.

Set in Toronto, two girls, Margaret -- a second generation West Indian immigrant -- and Sulma -- fresh up from a joyous life with her grandmother in Tobago to a tense and unhappy relationship with her mother and stepfather -- become friends and comrades in various adventures.
