Quote: “Poor Denzil; off the plane from Jamaica into bitter England, and stuck in the most cultish, insular day in the nuclear-family calendar.” (page 2, second paragraph from bottom).
In this quote the narrator is referring to her uncle Denzil who has been back from Jamaica to live with them in England. Knowing this word now made me understand that Denzil is coming from a crowded family and is now included in the narrator’s small family.
