"Once home was a far way off, a place I had never been to but knew well out of my mother's mouth. She breathed exuded hummed the fruit smell of Noel's Hill morning fresh and noon hot, and I spun visions of sapadilla and mango as a net over my Harlem tenement cot in the snoring darkness rank with nightmare sweat."
Carriacou, a magic name like cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, the delectable little squares of guava jelly each lovingly wrapped in tiny bits of crazy-quilt wax. paper cut precisely from bread wrappers, the long sticks of dried vanilla and the sweet-smelling tonka bean."
"Madivine. Friending. Zami, How Carriacou women love each other is legend in Grenada, and so is their strength and their beauty."
