This read reminds me a lot of “Clara of the Sea Light”, in the book at that the plot is portrayed through the pasts of the characters as well as their present situation. We meet young, impressionable Lala and learn about the women in her lineage, their torturous pasts with men, her own history of abuse. I recommend listening to the audiobook; Danielle Vitalis delivered a fantastic Bajan accent throughout her narration of the book.
