ISBN10: 1906011834, ISBN13: 9781906011833, [publisher: Eland Publishing Ltd, London] Hardcover Hardcover. A Year in Jamaica is a complex memoir telling the story of two simultaneous journeys: Diana Lewes's 1889 trip from England to visit her family's sugar plantations in the Caribbean, and the internal rite of passage of a Victorian girl on her journey to adulthood. Miss Lewes alternates between the acceptable pursuits of a Victorian gentlewoman sewing, social visits, riding and trying to find a more meaningful role for herself in this man's world. We see this intelligent and competent young woman appraising the society around her, and struggling with its contradictions. Set primarily on a plantation called Arcadia, overlooking the sea and a distant Cuba from on high, the author alternates between the acceptable pursuits of a Victorian gentlewoman - sewing, social visits, riding - and trying to find a more meaningful role for herself in this man's world.
