How The One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House

Barbados. In Baxter’s beach, Barbados, Lala’s grandmother Wilma tells the story of the one-armed sister, a cautionary tale about what happens to girls who disobey their mothers. This is the powerful, intense story of three marriages, and of a beautiful island paradise where, beyond the white sand beaches and the wealthy tourists, lies poverty, menacing violence and the sacrifices some women make to survive. Hard-hitting and evocative.
