Pink Icing and Other Stories

"Pamela Mordecai draws delicately detailed portraits of life in Jamaica and other islands, with occasional trips to Canada. Her characters speak with the cadences of the Caribbean, and cope with the universal experiences of birth and death, joy and betrayal. In "Hartstone High," a group of girls learn the high price of education; in "Alvin's Ilk," a self-centred teenaged boy comes to see his elderly neighbour in a whole new way; and in "Shining Waters," a young priest's plans for his new parish go horribly awry."--BOOK JACKET.Mordecai, Pamela is the author of 'Pink Icing and Other Stories ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781897178324 and ISBN 1897178328.
