About the Book



A new play about the conflict between a West-Indian woman and her English-born daughters.



Book Synopsis



Enid is one of those West Indians who came to England in the fifties, determined to become "little Miss English." Abandoned by her husband, she has struggled to bring up her two daughters to live her dream. Leave Taking is a beautifully observed, deeply moving account of what it is like to be caught in alienated limbo.
