Description
Set against the lush landscapes of post-colonial Trinidad, this beautifully written historical novel traces the birth of independence through the intimate life of a woman whose choices ripple outward into a changing nation. As political upheaval and social transformation gather force, her marriage becomes a crucible—tender, troubled, and increasingly strained—reflecting the tensions of a society learning to define itself. With lyrical prose and a keen eye for human complexity, Monique Roffey blends personal stakes with sweeping historical context, illuminating how love, power, and identity collide. A vivid, unforgettable read, it explores the costs of reinvention and the fragile hope that can survive even the most turbulent times.
