Praisesong for the Widow : ウィキペディア英語版 | Praisesong for the Widow ''Praisesong for the Widow'' is a 1983 novel by Paule Marshall that takes place in the mid-1970s, chronicling the life of Avey Johnson, a 64-year-old African-American widow on a physical and emotional journey in the Caribbean island of Carriacou. Throughout the novel, there are many flashbacks to Avey's earlier life experiences with her late husband, Jerome Johnson, as well as childhood events that reconnect her with her lost cultural roots. ==Explanation of the title== There is a reference here to the African heritage〔Dorothy Hamer Denniston, ("Recognition and Recovery: Diasporan Connections in ''Praisesong for the Widow''" ), in ''The Fiction of Paule Marshall: Reconstructions of History, Culture, and Gender'', The University of Tennessee Press, 1995, p. 126.〕 of Avey Johnson, to which she reconnects during the course of the novel. Through the use of song and remembrances of the past, Avey is able to come to terms with the death of her husband.
