"...what would it mean for a woman to love another woman in the Caribbean? Not in the Mediterranean, not in a Paris bar, not on an estate in England. These are the representations of lesbians we have in much literature. But for Caribbean women to love each other is different. It's not Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf, it's not Djuna Barnes or Natalie Barney, and it's not Sappho."
