The feel-good place to buy books
Macmillan Caribbean Writers; This Body by Tessa Mcwatt
Set in London, Toronto and Guyana, this title conveys secrets that usually remain untold - those of desire, loss, identity, and of love lost and found.
"This Body is about food, fathers and familySituated in London in the 21st century the story invites the reader to rethink identity in a globalized world, where roots have been replaced by wings for they better symbolize the complex web of relationships that connect us to people and places." Maria van Enckevort, Society for Caribbean Studies Newsletter"
