The author doesn’t appear to know what her own name is.

“By” and “About” say “Nada Cal.”

However, this cover and the one showing on Smashwords say “Nadia Cal.”

Typo? Or someone already uses her real name and she had to come up with something else?

Set mostly in St. Lucia, the memoir juxtaposes the author’s personal experience of his mom, his mother’s researched life story (and that of her relatives), and St. Lucia’s contemporary history. It dwells on the workings of
Passed on in 2024.
As usual, it seems somewhat morbid to dwell on the deaths of the year without also recognizing the births of the same year… but with extremely few exceptions (I’m a grandfather now!), we don’t know which of the millions who came into the world this year will be familiar to us by the end of...
