Kei Miller’s new novel, The Last Warner Woman, tells the story of Adamine Bustamante, who was born inside one of Jamaica’s last leper colonies. When she goes to a revivalist church, Adamine discovers her gift for prophecy (or ‘warning). Unfortunately, no one has bothered to warn her that when she migrates to England, her prophecies of hurricanes and earthquakes will no longer be respected. People will think she is crazy and lock her away in a mental hospital.
Now an old woman, Adamine wants to tell her own story, but she must compete with ‘Mr Writer Man’, the novelist who is twisting her words for his own book, and Adamine doesn’t know why.
This book is available online @Amazon.
