520 $aDionne Brand's luminous debut novel, In Another Place, Not Here, tells of two contemporary Caribbean women - one urban, passionate, and idealistic, the other constrained by disillusion and rural poverty, each in her own spiritual exile - who find brief refuge in each other on an island in the midst of political uprising.
520 8 $aElizete dreams of running to another place to escape the harshness of her daily life on the island. Knowing better than to hope for much, she lives in a world of lush inventions that stave off reality. Then she meets Verlia, a woman in constant flight, who lives in Toronto and has returned to her island birthplace with hopes of revolution. Both women are dreaming of each other's reality - and of each other.
520 8 $aTheir tumultuous story moves between city and island, between material and spiritual poverty, between community and isolation, between fantasy and reality, in a past and future time where the dream is always, again, deferred.
