Patsy
Nicole Dennis-Benn
From
award-winning novelist Nicole Dennis-Benn comes this beautifully layered
portrait of motherhood, immigration and sacrifice WINNER OF THE LAMBDA LITERARY
AWARD 2020 A TIME MAGAZINE 'MUST READ BOOK OF 2019' LONGLISTED FOR A
PEN/FAULKNER AWARD 2020 Patsy yearns to escape the beautiful but impoverished
Jamaican town where she was raised for a new life in New York and the chance to
start afresh. Above all, she hopes to be reunited with her oldest friend,
Cicely, and to rekindle their young love. But spreading her wings will come at
a price: she must leave her five-year-old daughter, Tru, behind. And Patsy is
soon confronted by the stark reality of life as an undocumented migrant in a
hostile city. Expertly evoking the jittery streets of New York and the languid
rhythms and lilting patois of Jamaica, Patsy weaves between the lives of Patsy
and Tru as mother and daughter ultimately find a way back to one another. Daring,
tender and profound, this is the story of one woman's fight to discover her
sense of self in a world that tries to define her, and of the lasting threads
of love stretching across years and oceans.
