Review:
"'Captivating... Being introduced to the cast of From Harvey River is like sitting down at the family dining table. You'll stay for the day and then on into the evening as each new character pulls up a chair. You could not be in better company.' New York Times 'Beautiful is the life Goodison evokes from the far-distant past... A window that opens onto a society that most of us will never know.' Washington Post"
Book Description:
As read on Radio 4, an irresistibly joyful memoir of mothers and daughters, and the importance of home.
'The book is a joy... A bittersweet reminder to all Jamaica's exiles of what we have lost'. Independent
