Helpful Score: 6

I had high hopes for this book, but came away disappointed. It was told as a series of narratives to a doctor seeking information for his higher up, and I found this style somewhat impersonal. I found her Ireland childhood and early years in Barbados more interesting than the latter third of the book, where her childbearing years and eventual uprising took place. Interesting, but not as descriptive as I would have liked.
