How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones
£8.99
Bookseller Review by Fleur:
This powerful, powerful novel was impossible to put down. It utterly broke my heart, but I’m so incredibly glad I read it. Set in Barbados, on one level this is a tragic story of Bajans and rich European second home owners. But it is also a universal story of what on earth you do if you find that you have made yourself a frankly terrible and nightmarish bed – how, oh how can you/do you lie in it? It rightly deserves its place on the Women’s Prize shortlist and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Bookseller Review by Elle:
Tragically sad, yet utterly powerful and compelling. A novel about generational trauma with very little light amongst the darkness. Cherie Jones paints a visceral and real picture of these women’s lives. Although painful, the narrative is important and truthful: Life is not always sunshine and roses, especially for these women who are trapped in a cycle of abuse, violence, and misogyny.
