Set in Belize, Central America, this book is the record of a few months in the life of Beka and her family. The story is built around Beka’s victory over her habit of lying and her relationship with her friend Toycie. The politics of the colony and the presence of the Catholic Church are featured.
Enjoyed this story of a few months in the life of a teenage girl, her family and her best friend, set in Belize. Not only a lovely, if tragic, story but I learned lots about Belize and her politics too.
