Description: These stories of love, injustice and the innermost feelings of women are tender and poignant as they weave between generations, past and present. They give a powerful and vivid view of Jamaican life shot through with pride and struggle, contempt and pain. In Mint Tea, her first collection of short stories, Craig displays a flair for language and imagery and a subtle sense of irony.
