Caribbean Censorship Child in Literature



My Mother's Island by Marnie Mueller,

My Mother's Island by Marnie Mueller,
In Marnie Mueller's My Mother's Island, Sarah Ellis must tend to her dying mother, Reba. This moving story of subterranean conflict between a mother and her only child explores the tension between duty and commitment -- how to honor one's parents even when one feels damaged by them. With sorrow, rage, empathy, and touches of humor, the story reaches its irrevocable conclusion in a death scene where Sarah is shocked to find a simple truth that has always evaded her. This novel is played out against the lush ambiance of the Caribbean and the embracing involvement of the people of the working-class Puerto Rican community where Sarah's parents had settled 20 years earlier. Sarah, who has always taken care of her mother's needs, has steeled herself to single-handedly provide support to her dying mother, but gradually allows others to help her -- Lydia Rentas, the girlfriend of a local heroin user and the foster mother of a child whose own mother has AIDS; Estela, a neighbor, whose carport is overflowing with orchids; Inez, whose four-year-old daughter has become the granddaughter Sarah has never provided her mother; Pearl, a former sports writer who is Reba's bridge partner; and Dr. Gold, a New Yorker who 30 years earlier married a Puerto Rican and has taken on Latino attitudes toward dying. With their support, Sarah comes to terms with her mother and with her own past.
