Description
The Boy from Willow Bend tells the story of Vere, an Antiguan youth, with an irrepressible spirit which is tested as he comes of age amid poverty, loss, and hard knocks. The women in his life - his absent mother, longsuffering Tanty, rebellious June, first crushes Kim and Makeba, and first girlfriend Elizabeth - help shape him; so, too, his abrasive grandfather and others. In the end, though, he grows into his own person; bright, talented, a survivor. The Boy from Willow Bend, which has been on schools reading lists in Antigua-Barbuda and Anguilla for several years, was originally published by Macmillan Caribbean. The Boy from Willow Bend has since been republished with UK-based independent press Hansib. The Hansib edition features cover art by Antiguan and Barbudan artist Heather Doram .
