The Bread the Devil Knead by veteran writer, Lisa Allen-Agostini, is a surprisingly funny, fast-paced and hopeful novel about a woman in an abusive relationship, told in her own Trinidad Creole voice.
Its protagonist is Alethea Lopez, who is about to turn 40. Fashionable, feisty and fiercely independent, she manages a boutique in Port of Spain, but behind closed doors she’s covering up bruises from her abusive partner and seeking solace in an affair with her boss.
Bringing us her truth in an arresting, unsparing Trinidadian voice, Alethea unravels memories repressed since childhood and begins to understand the person she has become. Her next step is to decide the woman she wants to be.
