Description

Scattered Memories of a Troublemaker is the vivid, fearless memoir of Dylyn Riley Dalton, who was born into a divided St Lucian family shaped by colonial rule and raised by her formidable grandmother after a tragic family rift. From convent classrooms to a Miss West Indies beauty contest, and eventually to post-war London, Dylyn’s life unfolds across islands and continents as she becomes a writer, activist, and cultural pioneer. Told in warm, candid vignettes, her story is a powerful reflection on identity, migration, and the resilience of Caribbean women.
