From stationmaster’s daughter to wife of one of Jamaica’s most charismatic prime ministers Beverley Manley’s life has been an odyssey. Told incessantly that she was good for nothing, she defied her mother’s prophecy, and triumphed over her ordinary beginnings first as a model in London, later becoming a household name in local radio, television and theatre, to becoming embroiled in the ideological politics of the 1970s that would eventually lead to her estrangement from Michael Manley, the destruction of their marriage, her flight into the arms of a rival lover and finally to a self-imposed exile in the US.
