Set in the heart of rural Jamaica, A HOUSE FOR MISS PAULINE (Algonquin Books), from award-winning author Diana McCaulay, tells the captivating, tender tale of Pauline Sinclair—a fiercely independent 99-year-old Jamaican woman who built her own home from the ruins of a plantation. As she faces her 100 th birthday, the old stones of her house begin to rattle and shift and call out mysterious messages, prompting her to reckon with long-buried secrets from her past. Lyrical, funny, eerie, and urgent, infused with the patois and natural beauty of Jamaica, A HOUSE FOR MISS PAULINE asks profound questions about ancestry, colonialism, and ownership of the places where our identities are forged.
Join Diana on the occasion of BCLF-directed US book launch on Tuesday 25 February. Get tickets here!
