Short Story: Matriarch of Den Amstel

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

An intriguing story by Guyana's award-winning writer Roy Heath.
"He introduced me to his mother-in-law, a matriarch with slightly prominent teeth and a grand manner, who wore a white achal and fanned herself languidly. I could hardly keep my eyes off the old woman." Read by Hugh Quarshie. Producer Pam Fraser Solomon
