A review by neareads
Girlcott by Florenz Webbe Maxwell

4.0

When I was little Mrs. Maxwell came to my school to tell us Bermudian folk tales. I’m so glad she finally wrote her own story. I loved it. It perfectly captures some of the ideals and thoughts of that time. In some ways the mindsets have not changed much. That fear or expectation that black Bermudians be satisfied no matter how raw of a deal they are getting is still present today. Definitely told in Maxwell’s very unique and very Bermudian voice it was a joy to read.
