The Bread the Devil Knead by Lisa Allen-Agostini
4.0
Heartbreaking, hopeful, and engrossing. I was rooting for Alethea from the get go, and while most of the book was hard, her journey is one of strength, resilience, and light. I am also in love with this cover.
I am so glad this was on the Women's Prize List for 2022, I would not have found it on my own. I do wonder why they have chosen for 2 years in a row Caribbean authors/books that center domestic violence. I am hoping this is not the only exposure that people following this list get of Caribbean women writers.
