From Harvey River

As read on Radio 4, this is an irresistibly joyful memoir of mothers and daughters, and the importance of home. Lorna Goodison`s family made their home in the Jamaican village to which her great-grandfather gave his name: Harvey River. Her mother Doris was a big-hearted lover of big stories and raised Lorna on tales of their family`s – and Jamaica`s – history. Gorgeously written with unashamed joy, “From Harvey River” weaves together memories with island folklore to create a vivid and irresistible story of mothers and daughters, family, and the ties that bind us to home.
