Title: The Opposite House
Description: Maja was five years old when her black Cuban family emigrated from the Caribbean to London, leaving her with one complete memory: a woman singing in a voice both eerie and enthralling at their farewell party. Now, almost twenty years later, Maja herself is a singer, pregnant and haunted by what she calls her Cuba. -- Publisher description.
