Me A Book Of Remembrance

By Onoto Watanna

Me: A book of remembrance is a poignant autobiographical narrative that captures the youthful ambition and emotional vulnerability of a seventeen-year-old girl as she leaves her struggling family behind in Quebec to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Stepping into the unfamiliar world of the West Indies with just ten dollars and a hopeful spirit, she is thrust into a vibrant yet challenging environment that tests her resilience. The story begins with a reflective departure during a bleak winter, providing insight into her unusual upbringing shaped by a creative yet unstable household. As she journeys to Jamaica to work for a small newspaper, she encounters a range of characters and cultural experiences that shape her perceptions and fuel her personal growth. Through vivid descriptions and introspective moments, the narrative explores themes of identity, independence, and the pursuit of creative fulfillment. The early chapters gently unravel the emotional layers of dislocation and discovery, setting the tone for a deeply personal account of a young woman learning to navigate life and purpose far from home.
