‘We are born of fighters … slaves wanting to be free. Never let anyone take away the fire in your belly, my daughters…’Two sisters, spun from the same cloth, yet following different paths…
Headstrong Agnes Deterville dreams of escape, far away from their small village in Saint Lucia. Cautious Ella fears everything beyond the world she knows.
When Agnes departs to 1950s London, they are both confronted by heartbreak, loneliness, and tragedy.
Separated by an ocean, but bound by love, can the sisters keep their island song singing in their hearts?
Perfect for fans of This Lovely City by Louise Hare and Windrush Child by Benjamin Zephaniah.
