Makeda Silvera

The Heart Does Not Bend

Family loyalty, betrayal and the redemptive power of love are at the heart of this poignant and unforgettable novel set in Canada and Jamaica.

Silvera uses the vivid, colloquial speech of Jamaica to great effect in this collection of stories about "outsiders": immigrants for whom North America is seldom the dreamed-of land of opportunities.
