For The Life Of Laetitia by Merle Hodge

With its wonderful descriptions of the two contrasting worlds-the village and the city - Laceys story is an astonishing one that leads to a different decision: she cannot bear to stay any longer at her father's, but without education Lacey faces a life shared by many Caribbean women-overworked and unappreciated.
