“I particularly like the way in which Wright moves forward and backward in time and place, Jamaica, The United Kingdom and the United States of America. She accomplished this device smoothly and seamlessly. Kudos. Equally so, I really admire the way in which she grounded the work in a Caribbean context, not only in Jamaica generally but also culturally embracing the Caribbean archipelago…. I welcomed the reference to the emergence of West Indian nationalism. In so doing Wright makes “Weeping May Endure for a Night”, into a 21st century Caribbean novel and not just some book set in the global village. She manages to retain … a sense of history, a remembrance of heritage and a sense of identity. Literature is more than turning these ideas into means to an end – we leave this to historians – literature is all about en-fleshing our stories. Fiction is just about writing stories. Wright has been successful. This novel is literature; Caribbean literature, no less. It is equally post colonial literature in its emerging best.”
