A review by nelli_lakatos
Windward Family: An atlas of love, loss and belonging by Alexis Keir

4.0

'It took two decades for me to go in search of the parts of myself I had left behind in the Caribbean. What ghosts were waiting for me there? There was a thick, black journal in my flat, stuffed with letters, postcards, handwritten notes, and diary entries. For the first time in years, I opened it.'

This was a really beautifully written unique memoir.
Upon returning to the island of St. Vincent, Alexis finds himself exploring the stories of others who have left the Caribbean island and what became of them in the larger world. Exploring out the fates of others who have left the island makes this an interesting, enthralling read.

Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
