This is a book that my sister gave me. Its the story of a white woman who emigrates to Trinidad from England. It was meant to be temporary, her husband had a 3 year job. As soon as she arrives, the island seems to hate her and she hates it back. She wants to leave as soon as possible.
The story takes place in two parts, starting off when she is in her seventies and regressing to her initial arrival as a young, newly wed. In between it attempts a political commentary on the country as it devolves power from Britain to local rule, and the racial tensions that occur as a result.
