Great novel

A must read! Insightful and touching. Diaspora is a subject not many people are familiar about. The effects of migrations are detailed in a very insightful and emotional way. An excellent read.

A wonderful book

The Swinging bridge is one of my favourite books; the storytelling and description is beautiful. I identify with this book since I'm from Trinidad and I know which all girls school she is talking about. A definite read for anyone who wants to feel what life was like in Trinidad back in the days :)

Simply beautiful

Ms. Espinet weaved together a wonderful story that reads like poetry. I loved how the storyline moved back and forth from Mona's childhood to the present day. Beautifully and well written.

Espinet's Masterpiece

This author is wonderful. This is the first novel I have read of hers and I was absolutely astounded by its depth and poignancy. Her wonderful grasp of the West Indian colloquialisms are juxtaposed beautifully with her experiences in Canada. A MUST READ!
