Cherie Jones' debut novel is in the tradition of Zadie Smith and Marlon James. Set in Barbados, How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House, is an intimate and visceral portrayal of interconnected lives across race and class in a rapidly changing resort town, following four people confronting violence and love in a beachfront "paradise". Cherie Jones discusses her debut novel, How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House. This event is part of TPL's Black History series generously supported by the TD Ready Commitment.
