From Austin Clarke, the critically acclaimed author of The Polished Hoe—winner of the Giller Prize—comes More, a powerful new novel of survival in a cold and alienating world. Certain to become a classic in contemporary world literature, More carries readers into the lonely life of an immigrant domestic—abandoned years before by a faithless husband, her life devastated by her son’s involvement in gang culture and crime—and her remarkable journey from tragedy back to the light. An unforgettable portrait of the black immigrant experience, it is a novel to be read and remembered.

Add a CommentThis book, by the author of "The Polished Hoe", allows the reader to see what it is like living in Toronto in the Jarvis St. area. It focuses on the struggle of a mother whose son is involved in a street gang. She has the same love and aspirations as all mothers have for their children, but her economic struggles dictate the outcome. Eye opening!
