Earth's Waters ReviewEarth's Waters by Nicole Blades is a very moving book that this avid and picky reader would definitely pick.
The first pleasure is the pitch perfect dialect. I was living smack dab in the center of Barbados from first page to last. Next came the beautifully drawn characters, all complex and intriguing. Finally, there was the inspirational story of a downtrodden yet sweetly hopeful young lady coming into her own.
A special bonus: anyone reading this will gain an understanding of the extreme difficulties Caribbean immigrants may have experienced growing up. Hopefully this understanding will result in greater empathy and kindness towards them.Earth's Waters OverviewYoung, sea-loving Lily (nee Harriette) is aptly nicknamed after a floating flower. A Bajan high school drop-out, she subsists passively in her grandmother's house at the sufferance of a stern, fundamentalist task-mistress, one who malignly sees in Lily her lost, promiscuous, "wutless" mother. Adrift, born into an "island paradise" which offers few choices to her kind, she must nevertheless identify, then gain the grit and spiritual wherewithal to make them, if she's to escape an out-of-control life of serial beatings at the hands of her first "man", the charismatic, brutal, and finally murderous Goldie (Colvin) Edwards. Through the counsel of her appalled friend Sophie and the wisdoms of a pair of beach Rastas encountered beside her beloved Caribbean, she slowly learns not only that she is, indeed, a lovely flower, but The Rock she must leave via the freedom of primal yet navigable waters, has been the stumbling block set before an unloved female self. With a brilliant ear for both dialogue and dialect, and a great gift for ensemble scenes, Canadian-Bajan novelist Nicole Blades plants us firmly on the soil, not of the tourists', but of the natives' contemporary Caribbean.
