(There was also a subplot with a Jamaican character in Miss Scarlet & The Duke if you've been watching that.)
Ooooo!! I’ll have to check that out.
Both of them were very good, but very different!BTW, I decided to see if I could actually get Frannie Langton and the library got it for me already!
Reckoning with the intertwined histories of the Caribbean and Britain seems to have been a theme this month for me. I saw The Long Song on PBS, and read Wide Sargasso Sea.
