About this audiobook
In the tradition of
Zadie Smith and Marlon James, a debut novel, set in Barbados, about four people
confronting violence and love in a beachfront “paradise”
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 and go into the Baxter’s Tunnels. When she’s
grown-up, Lala lives on the beach with her husband, Adan, a petty criminal with
endless charisma whose thwarted burglary of one of the beach mansions sets off
a chain of events with terrible consequences. A gunshot no one was meant to
witness. A new mother whose baby is found lifeless on the beach. A woman torn
between two worlds and incapacitated by grief. And two men, driven into the
Tunnels by desperation and greed, who attempt a crime that may cost them their freedom—and
their lives.
How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House
is an intimate and visceral portrayal of interconnected lives across race and
class in a rapidly changing resort town, told by an astonishing new author of
literary fiction.
