In this award-winning novel, Jamaican author Nicole Dennis-Benn explores the lives of two sisters who are fifteen years apart, with eldest sister Margot working to help make a better life for the youngest by becoming a sex worker. Thandi, the younger sister battles with what's expected of her versus what she really wants for her life moving forward. The sisters' tales intertwine with the story of their abusive mother, Delores. This novel deals with the intricacies of love, race, colorism, wealth inequality, and the tourism industry on the beautiful island of Jamaica.
