This was the marvellous debut novel by Margaret Knight, with 3 more great books which follow. The characters jump off the page and the social atmospheres both in Barbados and in England in the mid to late 20th Century come alive on every page, especially as it relates to racist attitudes. And yet this is certainly not a 'heavy read' by any stretch of the imagination. It is at once funny, sad, revealing, witty and thought provoking.
