Acclaimed by Adrienne Rich as
“fierce, sensuous . . . a work of great beauty and moral
imagination,” In Another
Place, Not Here tells of
two contemporary Caribbean women who find brief refuge in each other
on an island in the midst of political uprising. Elizete, dreaming of
running to another place to escape the harshness of her daily life on
the island, meets Verlia, an urban woman in constant flight who has
returned to her island birthplace with hopes of revolution. Their
tumultuous story moves between city and island, past and future,
fantasy and reality.
