[14] Shivanee Ramlochan, a fellow Trinidadian writer and reviewer writing in Caribbean Beat, admired Millar's "dazzling attention to language's depths, suffusing her character descriptions and place evocations with a sensuous, restrained prose that feeds full-fathoms from the wild majesty of verdant ecosystems.
"[16] Joanne Hillhouse writing in Wadadli Pen commented on Millar's originality: "She is a Trinidad writer who eschews Port of Spain and the more familiar geographic, ethnic, and emotional landscapes of the land and the literature for something...not as easily categorized".
Sir Vidia Naipaul, Earl Lovelace, C. L. R. James, Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott, and too many others to list here, have set a very high bar.
"[18] In interview with Karin Cecile Davidson in July 2013, Millar spoke about her sensitivity towards writing into a Caribbean space as a white, middle-class woman.
She also noted the importance of writing in relation to complicated and fraught questions of Caribbean identity, "I really believe in the power of the story to help us see ourselves.
