Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Dominique Letellier.
" Ma mère est morte au moment où je suis née, aussi toute ma vie n'y a-t-il jamais rien eu entre moi et l'éternité ; dans mon dos soufflait toujours un vent lugubre et noir. Je ne pouvais pas savoir, au début, que ce serait comme ça. "
Xuela a grandi dans un village des Caraïbes. Au soir de sa vie, elle revient sans tabous sur son enfance passée dans le deuil d'une mère qu'elle n'a jamais connue, et sur sa vie de femme devenue incapable d'aimer. Les hommes, les colonisateurs, les puissants : ils ont toujours été maîtres de son destin. Xuela les subit, mais en elle brûle l'insoumission.
Quotes by Jamaica Kincaid

I don’t like to hear people speaking in my work. I like reading it, and I marvel at people who can do it well. And there’s something when you see it done well. It’s just so terrific. But I’m not able to do it.
