Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast.

Description
In the tradition of Zadie Smith and Marlon James, a debut novel, set in Barbados, about four people confronting violence and love in a beachfront “paradise”.
In Baxter’s Beach, Barbados, Lala’s grandmother Wilma tells the story of the one-armed sister, a cautionary tale about what happens to girls who disobey their mothers and go into the Baxter’s Tunnels. When she’s grown-up, Lala lives on the beach with her husband, Adan, a petty criminal with endless charisma whose thwarted burglary of one of the beach mansions sets off a chain of events with terrible consequences.
A gunshot no one was meant to witness. A new mother whose baby is found lifeless on the beach. A woman torn between two worlds and incapacitated by grief. And two men, driven into the Tunnels by desperation and greed, who attempt a crime that may cost them their freedom - and their lives.
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, told by an astonishing new author of literary fiction.

UNSUITABLE NARRATOR
As a Barbadian woman, it was easy for me to recognise all the phrases that were read with the wrong inflections, causing the meaning to be lost in the delivery. This narrator was unsuitable for colouring a Barbadian story; she did not read with a Barbadian accent. I was so annoyed by the slow, smokey voice that I cannot even remember if the story itself had much merit. I quit this book before finishing. I would be better off with the printed copy.

Simply Riveting
Absolutely loved this harrowing tale of love, betrayal, secrets and lies. Warning, it is quite violent and dark. Narration is VERY authentic and believable. You are transported to Baxter's Beach and the underbelly of the Bajan paradise. Each character is on their own journey of self-actualization and freedom and the narratives crash together in surprising ways throughout this incredible novel.

a story that sits with you
First let me say Danielle Vitalis’s narration is BESS. An actual bajan reading bajan literature! She had me spellbound from the first chapter. That being said, Cherie Jones wrote such a beautiful story, intertwining these characters and their lives so seamlessly. I cheered for them; I swelled with anger for them; and I felt bittersweet at the end. I really enjoyed it. It's one of those stories that I know will stick with me, and I see myself re-reading again.

Captivating book, didn’t want to put it down
The story was so well written, it feels like you are transported into the scenes experiencing the story along with the characters. The book was amazing, the threads of suspense and plot twists make this a cover to cover read. It was a bit heavy and dark at times with the prevalence of abuse, sad events and window to the grittier side of life. As a Barbadian who identifies with the language and lingo, the narrator’s accent made listening very difficult. She did a great job but it took away from its authenticity. It was however amazing to experience how Cherie captured so many elements of our people, landscape, duality of beach and wider culture, heritage and community support so beautifully.
