Description
The Day I Fell Off My Island tells the story of Erna Mullings, a Jamaican girl uprooted from her island following the sudden death of her beloved grandmother. She is sent to England to be reunited with her siblings, leaving behind everything she has ever known.
A new future unfolds in a strange country and with a mother she barely knows. Over the next decade, Erna embarks on a complex journey of estrangement and arrival, uncovering long-buried secrets along the way.
Author Yvonne Bailey-Smith draws on her own experiences as an immigrant child to explore the challenges and emotions that come with leaving behind everything familiar. This powerful story is a poignant exploration of loss, identity and resilience.
