The Swinging Bridge - Ramabai Espinet

A good book by a Canadian Author.

This book really studies the need for all of us to have "roots", and how those roots may be tied to land, traditions, family, and history, or a combination thereof. I really felt that Mona found her roots in the end, and that while some of those roots were tied to the land of her childhood, she could accept those roots, despite being elsewhere physically. Mona was able to find peace in her life once she was able to define her roots and their origins.
