This collection of stories gives a revealing insight into Bermudan society, its tensions of race and culture, and the geographical pull that draws some of its people closer to the United States, while others look to links with the Caribbean or even more submerged links with Africa. Several of the Bermudan-based stories explore the instability and lack of rootedness of a Bermudan middle class without authentic cultural identity. What works as a counter current in several of the stories is the implied notion of an identity that is not fixed but part of a flow, a circuit of people and culture that takes in an Atlantic region that has Africa as one of its starting points, as in a scene in which an old Gambian man listens to the music of his homeland in London, music which has been powerfully influenced by Cuban music, itself a music created from both African and European roots. Angela Barry's stories demand an alertness to that kind of connection.
