Full Stop is a novel written by Alecia McKenzie. The novel consists of different letters, which are written by the main character Carmen and her grandma Scottie. Carmen’s grandma Scottie is very religious and old-fashioned pensioner. She always praises God and prays for Carmen’s best. Carmen usually sends back some money, which Scottie uses mostly in things that they are not meant to be use. Scottie writes many times in her letters that ”say hello to hubby” or ”kiss hubby for me”. Carmen’s hubby is Norman, who isn’t really a remarkable character in this novel.

One of the possible main characters is Carmen’s mother, who Carmen haven’t seen but once in her lifetime. Carmen’s mother lives in London. Carmen’s father had been killed in a construction yard when Carmen and her brother Richie were six years old. Now Carmen’s mother wants to pay a visit in New York for a operation, where Carmen lives and wants to have a little chitchat. Carmen finds out all the things about her childhood and why Scottie was her foster mother. Scottie had of course told different story. When Scottie heard about Carmen’s revelations, she decided to use the money to burglar bars, what for Carmen had sent the money.
