“The novel successfully challenges stereotypical notions of both strong, matriarchal black mothers and of poor, abused powerless black women... a valuable contribution to Caribbean and postcolonial literature.”–Choice

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read., May 18, 1999

By	ingr0005@tc.umn.edu (A Jamaican gyal in Minneapolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harriet's Daughter (Paperback)

While this wasn't the best written book that I've ever read, nor the most touching, it is definately worth reading. As a Jamaican, I could relate to Margaret's childhood and her father's constant threats to send her to Barbados and get some 'Good West Indian Discipline'. This book gives a good picture of a young girl's coming of age, I wish there was a part 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harriet's Daughter, March 10, 2006

By	Ibolya Smith (toronto, on. canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book deals with racial discrimination and how a young girl copes with it. However, more importantly the book is really about a dysfunctional family into which Harriet does not fit; her father dislikes her and keepts threatening to send her back to Jamaica and as well she has two sisters with whom she cannot associate. (like Cinderella
and her stepsisters). The book is a good read for adolescent girls.
