In this deeply poetic novel, Clare must make sense of her middle-class childhood memories in contrast with another side of Jamaica which she is only now beginning to see: one of extreme poverty. And Jamaica--almost a character in the book--comes to life with its extraordinary beauty, coexisting with deep human tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the course of the book, Clare sees the violence that rises out of extreme oppression, the split loyalties of a colonized person, and what it means to be neither white nor Black in that environment. The result is a deeply moving, canonical work.","brand":"Plume Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284051050548,"sku":"9780452275690","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_1943c5d5-87ea-474b-a764-1cbad55ffc4a.jpg?v=1764156419","url":"https:\/\/worldcaribbeanbooks.com\/products\/no-telephone-to-heaven","provider":"World Caribbean Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
