Crossing The Mangrove by Maryse Condé
In a small Caribbean coastal community the arrival and mysterious death of an enigmatic outsider becomes the occasion for dozens of residents to speak, each voice assembling a mosaic of memories, grievances and secret histories; through their overlapping testimonies the novel reveals the island’s tangled legacies of colonialism, migration, race and class, and the ways private longing and communal myth shape identity and belonging.
