Very interesting short stories, some take place in London, some in the Caribbean (Guyana and Jamaica). To me both The conversion of Millicent Vernon (girl in need of money to fix her teeth) and McGregor’s Journey were the most touching. From the last story (Eat labba and drink creek water): “We return and leave and return again, criss-crossing the Atlantic, but whichever side of the Atlantic we are on, the dream is always on the other side”.
