Bill Lamb is the father of Beka Lamb in the novel. He is basiccally the breadwinner of the family with an extreme temper.
She was black:'The Lamb family was black' - Chapter 2'She pulled dark brown knees under her chin' - Chapter 4She had a cut on her face:'the buckle end of the belt escaped accidentally from Bill Lamb's clenched fist and cut Beka on the left corner of her mouth' - Chapter 4'the scar browned over but remained visible' - Chapter 4She had curly hair that was usually straitened'Twice a month she sat in Miss Doodie's kitchen, which smelled of stale fried beans and burnt rice, to have her hair hotcombed' - Chapter 4' "Clearing the tangles out of Beka's hair takes nearly an hour every morning, Bill." ' - Chapter 4Her breasts were not even'One of her breasts was growing but the other remained flat.'
It may be true to an extent, that Beka lamb is 'boring' to quote a few previous answers...but one must take the text-a literature text book, in context. It is a metaphor for Ms.Edgell. And yes, as some of my students attest, it is a book to put them to sleep. But it is about a Caribbean experience. In chapter 7, Beka does not lie to the grocer, Mr. Gordillo, if she has passed exams.The book is written in a series of flashbacks that makes it difficult to understand at first. Beka remembers her maternal grandfather. Beka learns that her maternal grandfather was living in the bush with a Mayan woman and he dreams of going to England because he is half English. This gives insight into the background of Beka Lamb, her cultural upbringing. Her grandfather questions her father about his patriotism. Granny Ivy and beka's mother also discuss the bouganvillea (recurring symbol)being cut down. This was Beka's first successful plant and that is symbolic for Granny Ivy.
Read the book.

Granny Ivy is the mother of Bill Lamb, moreover the Grandmother of Beka Lamb, she gets along very well with Beka and is seen as a good-hearted helping character throughout the book.
