“Some bonds are forged in blood. Others in fire. The sisters of St. Anne’s Hill knew both.”
Grenada · 1917–1959 · Caribbean Historical FictionThe Story of the Sisters
Grenada, 1917. On the verdant hill of St. Anne’s, four sisters are born into a world that will ask everything of them — and give back, in equal measure, grace.
Spanning four extraordinary decades — from the last days of colonial Grenada through the turbulent middle of the twentieth century — The Four Sisters of St. Anne’s Hill is a sweeping, intimate novel about what it means to be a woman, a daughter, a sister, and a survivor.
The Abraham sisters — each fierce, each tender in her own way — navigate love and loss, faith and doubt, migration and belonging. From the lush hills of Grenada to the streets of Venezuela, Trinidad, and beyond, their lives weave together a tapestry of the Caribbean experience that is at once deeply personal and profoundly universal.
This is a story about the bonds that cannot be broken by distance or time. About the women who raised us, the ones we became, and the ones we are still becoming. About the particular courage it takes to be a Black woman moving through a world that does not always know what to do with your fullness.
Told with warmth, depth, and an unflinching eye for the truth of women’s lives, The Four Sisters of St. Anne’s Hill is Nadine Abraham Thompson’s love letter to the Caribbean women who carried the world on their shoulders — and never stopped singing while they did it.
For my mother, Veronica Abraham née Renwick — Teacher Veronica — who carried Grenada in her hands and pressed it gently into mine.
You taught me that a woman’s story is never small. That the life lived quietly in devotion to family and faith and beauty is among the most extraordinary lives there is.
This book began in your kitchen, in your garden, in the stories you told when you thought I was not listening. I was always listening, Mama. Every word.
— Nadine Abraham Thompson
