Więcej o książce
Clarise Cumberbatch arrives in New York on a cold March morning, but half way through US customs she is already homesick for Guyana, where peole have time to talk to her. Penniless, with no green card, she embarks on a relentless quest for her 'go around' husband Harold. Nagged by her best friend, Mavis, about the futility of her search, hounded by immigration officials and baffled the New York subway, Clarise still manages to survive and 'get through' this alien culture. Making skilled use of Guyanese 'patwah', Joan Cambridge's lyrical and often hilarious tale makes us laugh and cry, but never despair. This is a rich and highly seductive first novel...
