The Day I Fell Off My Island

The Day I Fell Off My Island is Yvonne Bailey-Smith's debut novel, an auto-fictional coming-of-age story that follows Erna Mullings, a teenage Jamaican girl raised by her grandparents whose life changes when she is sent to live in Britain.

The novel explores identity, displacement, family ties and the immigrant experience through evocative prose and memory-driven scenes drawn from the author's own background.
