Description
Little Prisons by Ilona Bannister is a powerful exploration of the lives of four women living in close proximity to one another. In a small London building, Penny struggles with her own demons, while Carla, an American expat, has been trapped in a coercive relationship for years. Mable, an elderly Jamaican pensioner, and Woman, a housekeeper and nanny, also find themselves bound by circumstances that have taken control of their lives. As the women's paths intersect through everyday moments - grocery deliveries, conversations in the stairwell - they begin to form tentative connections with one another. Through these small acts of kindness, they start to mend the broken paths in their lives and find a way forward. This moving novel is a testament to the transformative power of compassion and community.
