About the Author\nMerle Hodge is a Trinidadian novelist and literary critic. Her 1970 novel Crick Crack, Monkey is a true classic of West Indian literature, and Hodge is acknowledged as the first black Caribbean woman to have published a major work of fiction.\nThis is the story of one woman's life; that of Gwyneth Cuffie, a seemingly ordinary woman: teacher, lover of children and music, and pillar of her community. Beautifully written and deeply compassionate, the novel follows Gwynneth's life as she charts her own path through the turbulent times of her island and struggle against colonialism.
