Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.9MB
Overview: In her first novel, The Heart Does Not Bend, Makeda Silvera cofounder of Sister Vision Press and noted for her short fiction points her outsider scopes straight at the drama within the dysfunctional Galloway clan of Kingston, Jamaica. Spunky youngster Molly, daughter of the elusive Glory, is the narrative pacemaker of The Heart, but the acerbic tongue lashings dealt by her grandmother Maria Mama to most are its tainted lifeblood. Mama’s a God-fearing, hard-living hellion convinced that “dere is no such thing as a honest relationship.” She raises Molly, who even from an early age copes by waltzing on eggshells and escaping to a secret life. Molly endures Mama’s incessant sniping about her own offspring “Peppie had no guts, Glory didn’t love her enough, Freddie had abandoned her, and Mikey was on the road to destruction.” Only the Good Lord and the little lord Vittorio Mama’s despicable rogue grandson from her freeloading son Freddie are spared her verbal wrath.
