Although the title of the book I was prepares to reader about the author’s life as a banker, but this book is so much more. It a memoir written in journal accounting as the author takes the read on the journey almost from birth to adulthood. Throughout there are various scenarios of life on the island of Trinidad, where the story is set. I’ve visited several of the islands in the Caribbean; however, Trinidad is not one of them. Maybe one day. But after reading several of the author’s books some set in Trinidad, I feel as if I’ve visited the place in person, so vivid the descriptions.
The other thing that needs pointing about this accounting is the way the author took the reader to work with her, from her first job, to her movement up the corporate ladder, and her ultimate position as a banker. There are lots of brief descriptions about her family life, being courted by her husband, and the wonderful ceremony of her wedding. This book has a bit of everything and will keep the reader’s interest until the end. Very interesting read!
