MAROON HOUSE PRESS
Caribbean & Diaspora Storytelling
Lorna Phillips
Literary Fiction
Literary fiction drawn from Caribbean memory and the women who carry it. Her matrilineal line traces to Swift River, in Portland Parish, Jamaica.
Swift River follows a woman educated in Kingston who comes home certain her mother’s river ritual is only superstition. Phillips is interested in what a family knows, and what schooling teaches it to disbelieve.
