The Bread the Devil Knead
Description
As Alethea Lopez approaches forty, she appears confident and independent while managing a fashionable boutique in Port of Spain—but privately, she is trapped in an abusive relationship and a complicated affair. After witnessing a woman’s murder at the hands of a jealous lover, Alethea is forced to confront the frightening parallels in her own life and the buried memories that have shaped it. Set against the vivid social and cultural landscape of Trinidad, this emotionally powerful novel explores domestic violence, trauma, memory, desire, and the difficult path toward self-determination. Written in a distinctive, unsparing voice, it is both a deeply personal portrait of one woman’s awakening and a resonant story of liberation.
