The Bread The Devil Knead
Lisa Allen-AgostiniAlethea Lopez is about to turn 40. Fashionable, feisty and fiercely independent, she manages a boutique in Port of Spain, but behind closed doors, she’s covering up bruises from her abusive partner and seeking solace in an affair with her boss. When she witnesses a woman murdered by a jealous lover, the reality of her own future comes a little too close to home.
"As with its protagonist, Alethea, this book strips you down to raw nerve to build you back up again. Allen-Agostini has an unswerving eye with so much: the legacies of familial and sexual violence; the chronic self-suppression of the survivors; and finally, the life-saving and precious human urge to offer true love and friendship." - Nalo Hopkinson
Bringing us her truth in an arresting, unsparing Trinidadian voice, Alethea unravels memories repressed since childhood and begins to understand the person she has become. Her next step is to decide the woman she wants to be.
"An extraordinary and emotionally immersive novel – the music of Lisa Allen-Agostini’s writing voice is gloriously specific to Trinidad, yet this heart-wrenching story of a woman both liberated and in need of liberation has universal resonance. The powerful themes that emerge are both unpredictable and unforgettable, dealing with the masquerade of everyday love as well as hidden secrets that are the legacy of family." - Margaret Busby
