The Return of Latchmini

By S Shah Roath

This is the first novel in The Demerara Series - The Return of Latchmini. A journey that started in British India in the 1880s. A journey retraced by Bhanmattee who sought to establish the truth in the oral history and make lasting connections, past to present.

A journey, the author followed as a researcher and an academic, finding commonalities between her maternal oral history with the archival records that Bhanmattee located in Guyana, Suriname, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and India with over 10 world tours and years of dogged fieldwork. Further, the author was able to triangulate the data uncovered with the many scholarly works done by so many Indo-Guyanese researchers and writers over the last seven or more decades.
