Butterfly in the Wind by Lakshmi Persaud
From early in her life, Kamla is surprised by a contrary inner voice which frequently gainsays the wisdom of her elders and betters. But Kamla is growing up in a traditional Hindu community and attending schools in colonial Trinidad where rote learning is still the order of the day. She learns that this voice creates nothing but trouble and silences it. In this book, the voice is freed.
"'This unassuming and sweet-natured book is a tremendous celebration of life written with a sensuous attention to the physical world' The Sunday Times"
