Harriet's Daughter by Marlene Philip
It was nice and it teaches us a great deal
Harriet's Daughter is an interesting story about fourteen-year-old Margaret. She is trying had to be someone with 'style and class.' But the more she tries to come to terms with growing-up, relationships and responsibilities, the more things become confusing and her father's threat of 'Good West Indian Discipline' seems to be always at hand. But no matter what Margaret's insights continue to be profound.
