From Harvey River by Lorna Goodison
In her lovingly written, richly imaginative and effortlessly joyful memoir, poet Lorna Goodison weaves the history of her familiy - 'the fabulous Harvey girls' - with the history of Jamaica. It is a powerful love letter to the people and places that have shaped her.
'Captivating.. Being introduced to the cast of From Harvey River is like sitting down at the family dining table. You'll stay for the day and then on into the evening as each new character pulls up a chair. You could not be in better company.' New York Times 'Beautiful is the life Goodison evokes from the far-distant past... A window that opens onto a society that most of us will never know.' Washington Post
