 "Remains of the Feast" is a short story about a woman's relationship with her grandmother in the final days of her life. The narrator describes her grandmother's physical decline and the emotional toll of watching someone she loves suffer. The narrator describes the room of her great-grandmother Rukmini, who recently died at the age of 90. The room still carries the smell of her, but it's not the same overpowering smell that clung to everything during her final days. Rukmini had been in a nursing home for ten days before she died, with a cancerous lump in her neck that spread rapidly throughout her body.

Rukmini had a sense of humor that was quaint, yet embarrassing at times, and would

Postcolonial Reading of “Summer Lightning” Olive Senior is a Caribbean writer who was born in rural Jamaica. In the short story, the author metaphorically expresses her thoughts about the loss of pride in Caribbean culture by the people of Caribbean Island and the hegemonic magnetism towards western culture, which he thinks “Sodomy”.
