Read Pamela Mordecai’s Red Jacket for the mystery at its heart—the identity of a child named Grace, an adopted outsider, a red-haired, green-eyed, freckle-faced child who doesn’t look like anyone in her black family, a child who learns the stories of her biological mother and father as the novel unfolds. She’s the red jacket of the title, red referring to her light colouring, jacket Jamaican Creole for her status as an outsider.Read this book for the stories that are behind the story, for the stories that remain untold at its end.Read this book for its wide-ranging sense of time.

    Beautiful and Complex
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016*

I was predisposed to like this book. I say that because after hearing the author, Pamela Mordecai interviewed on CBC Radio, I felt I would like to meet her, sit down over a cup of tea or glass of wine and just listen to what she had to say. The Red Jacket did not disappoint. The author's charming on-air personality seeps through her characters. I was especially enamoured by the relationship between the protagonist, Grace Carpenter, and her grandfather. His homespun wisdom could help a lot of people. This book explores universal struggles: identity and culture and colour and gender and faith and family. I stopped short of five stars because of my ambivalence about the ending, but all in all, this was a beautifully written novel, a satisfying read. No surprise that Pam Mordecai was a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize.

    This is worth your time....

Pamela Mordecai is a well known poet who was born in Jamaica, educated at Universities in the USA, taught in High School in Jamaica, performed in theatre, before migrating to Canada where she focuses on writing ever more intriguing and stirring poetry. Until now. Red Jacket is her first novel and it has been well worth waiting for. The range of her experiences has been infused into a story that incorporate believable experiences from the Caribbean, the US and Africa. This is not a simple travelogue, however. A clearly intelligent and sensitive child confronts plausible experiences that makes for a series of difficult choices, and the developing of a complex woman who is shaken as well as stirred to emerge as credible heroine. A particular intelligence of the author is the credibility and substance  of the circumstances and persons with whom her main character's life (and her own) interacts, even at a distance. The readers of this first novel will want more from this poet.
