Ten Days in Jamaica- Ifeona Fulani

Chips makes no bones about the fact that her holiday in Jamaica is about using her white skin and money to find some beach-boy sex, but does Yvonne, coming home to recover from her cancer, behave any differently when she starts an affair with Donovan, her odd-jobbing handyman? Is there some truth in Arjun s accusation that Jewel has used him to pursue her black Londoner s dream of an exotic India? Where do responsibility and freedom begin and end in Bea s relationship with her adolescent daughter, Daria, about to make her first hesitant sexual explorations? The stories offer no easy answers to such questions, only the means to greater understanding and empathy for their characters motivations.
