Customer Reviews

Wisdom from a "Trinidude"

"Sometimes one must take one step backwards to make two steps forward". Eleven years ago I read this book in a Caribbean Literature class and Selvon's words still resonate inside my thick skull! If you enjoy the lilting rhythms of Caribbean folks, you will find this book succulent!

Interesting character studies

It's a bit slow for the American reader, but Mr Selvon produces vivid pictures of his characters. It's certainly worth reading, whether you're a Trini native or if you simply love the islands.
