Austin, Clarke. (Author). Miles, Robin. (Added Author).

Summary: Winner of both the Giller Prize and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, The Polished Hoe is acclaimed author Austin Clarke's masterpiece. On a Caribbean island in the 1950s, elderly Mary Gertrude Mathilda commits murder.

"... brilliantly written dialogue, a rich, dancing patois that fills out the dimensions of the island's painful history and its complex caste system."-Publishers Weekly
