• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

The writers collected here have written stories that vibrate with identity of place, people, and history. The poignancy found within each verse, paragraph, or page was felt as this reader whose own identity was molded in the Caribbean saw familiar ideas and ways of being and belonging.
