One wonders if this is not another generative moment to unfold in the future, where suspicion will be nested in these conversations, in what is said and not said, and the decisions adults make about these young girls and their bodies. The book is bounded by the historical and geographical parameters defined by colonial powers. Its epicentre is Barbados and its broader border the Anglo-speaking Caribbean region.

Unfortunately, while some references to other cases outside the region are brought into consideration, this is done too sparsely. However, this does not take away its merits, as ultimately, I do believe that a book should always be measured against what it has set out to do, and this is a well-accomplished book that does what it set out to do.
