Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch.
Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island.
As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There’s Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the ‘notorious’ founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago.
In a community in which women’s voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage…
‘Vital, enraging and brilliant. I loved it’ SARAH WINMAN

Apologetical
A brilliant feminist novel that took me back to the old days of such political texts. But this time it’s from the POV of women of colour and there is also a male narrator. It’s gruesome in parts with some violence but none of it gratuitous. All the actors are excellent. For those who, unlike me, don’t understand patios listen to this. As a fan of MR’s other books I was happy to hear Black Conch mentioned.
