Gwennie lives in a sleepy rural Jamaican backwater. Weighed down by a wayward brood of children and trapped in her unhappy marriage to Walter, she seeks solace in the company of her friends. Soon she is faced with a hard choice: does she flee from her past and the everyday cruelties of family life, or is she to remain a victim of her sense of duty?

Me Dying Trial is a poignant tale of a woman’s response to sudden change. It combines lightness and joie de vivre with an infinite sadness.
