Macmillan Caribbean Writers: Walking

"Josephine's story is full of lively characters and tongue-in-cheek happenings. The details of her life are well-rounded and as bright with humour as with angst. She tells her story with a lilt that could only come from the oral tradition. It is a story told among friends for the pleasure of telling." Mary Hanna, The Sunday Gleaner "This is the work of an exciting emergent Caribbean writer. I look forward to reading more publications from her fluent pen." Helen Pyne Timothy, Founding President of Caribbean Women Writers and Scholars "Joanne Haynes has written a courageous novel, entering the complex territory of race and class in the Caribbean. It is a page turner that holds the attention of the reader not only with its gripping narrative, but also with its insights into the complexities of growing up young, female and of mixed ethnicity in a politically independent society that nevertheless still prizes the aesthetics and values of the colonizer." Elizabeth Nunez, award-winning author of Bruised Hibiscus and Prospero's Daughter."
