Publisher's Synopsis
When Imelda Richardson leaves the small village of Watersgate, she is doing so for the second time. One of the young Jamaicans who left the island in 1974, Imelda's journey has taken her to England, and a law degree. But when her mother dies, Imelda returns. The village is still dominated by the Evangelical church and the thundering voice of Pastor Braithwaite. 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. As a Pentecostal fervour sweeps through the village, the tensions between old and new come to a head.
