Description
On a fictional Caribbean island, Sans Amen, a charismatic rebel movement gathers momentum as ordinary lives collide with the promise—and peril—of overthrowing a corrupt government. Told through shifting perspectives, the story follows both the insurgents and a government minister as they navigate loyalty, ambition, and the moral cost of political violence. As the coup unfolds, characters wrestle with what revolution truly means in a landscape shaped by colonial histories and recurring cycles of upheaval. With Monique Roffey’s lyrical, sharply observant style, the novel interrogates power, complicity, and the human stakes behind ideology—asking whether change can be anything more than another form of domination.
