From her childhood in colonial Port of Spain, to becoming a young mother in Wales and then returning to Trinidad, Jenkins tells her story with wit, emotional sensitivity and insight. Her experience is one rich with themes of gender, race, colonial politics, migration, language and class, woven into a compelling, poignant, and often very funny narrative.
