2nd book
Calabash
Parkway is a sequel to Brenda Chester
DoHarris’ internationally acclaimed first novel, The Coloured
Girl in the Ring: A Guyanese Woman Remembers. Set mainly
in nineteen-eighties Brooklyn, New York, Calabash Parkway
explores the lives of ’Gatha, Evadne, Gwennie, and Drupattie,
Guyanese women who migrate to North America, finding love and
tragedy. ’Gatha is an “undocumented” immigrant in Brooklyn, one
who searches for an illusive green card only to stumble on
passion with a younger man. Evadne struggles to wrest happiness
from the jaws of despair, and Gwennie migrates to Toronto
burdened with her father’s terrible secret. The interracial
relationship between Steven Osbourne and Drupattie ultimately
yields results that portend hope for Guyanese attitudes on
race. Colorful characters, folk wisdom, and the Creolese
dialect interspersed with Standard English all add humor and
interest to this vivid portrayal of Guyanese immigrant life in
the metropole....
