The Same Earth
It all begins with the theft of Tessa Walcott's polkadot panties and a river
that changes course overnight. When Imelda Richardson leaves the small village
of Watersgate, Jamaica, armed only with one small suitcase, she is doing so
for' the second time. One of the throng of young Jamaicans who left the island
in the 1970s, Imelda's journey has taken her to England, to the home of ganja-growing
rebel Purletta Johnson and the arms of fake Northerner Ozzie. But when her
mother dies Imelda returns to Watersgate, choosing Jamaica over England. It
is 1983 and when Tessa Walcott's panties are stolen, she and Imelda decide
to set up a Neighbourhood Watch. But they haven't counted on Pastor Braithwaite
and the crusading zeal of Evangelist Millie.
