Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Fair. 160 pages. EX-LIBRARY. Dog-eared.Summoned to Britain by a father she had never known, 11-year-old Hyacinth exc hanges the warmth and exuberance of the backstreets of Kingston, Jamaica, for th e gloom of inner-city life. She finds herself in a land of strangers, the only b lack face in a sea of white. Faced at school with the hostility of her classmate s, and at home with violence from her father, and a threatening sexuality she do es not understand she seeks refuge in dreams of her homeland - dreams which she must eventually test against the truth. Though academic triumphs help, for Hyaci nth the real search is for identity and a place in the world. In her first book black novelist Joan Riley paints a vivid portrait of immigrant experience in Bri tain, refusing to romanticise its harsh reality. Seller Inventory # 26y
