This is an important book for me because the main character ends up in a search for herself in Grenada -- at some locations that I had recently walked in search of family members. The widow meets an old man on the beach and joins him and others from the island of Carriacou for an annual pilgramage to Carriacou. I continually give this book to family members and buy it back into my library. See if you like it. ( )
