Fiction
A beautifully written, unforgettable novel of a troubled
marriage, set against the lush landscape and political
turmoil of Trinidad Monique Roffey's Orange Prize-shortlisted novel is a
gripping portrait of postcolonialism that stands among great
works by Caribbean writers like Jamaica Kincaid and Andrea Levy. When George and Sabine Harwood arrive in Trinidad from
England, George is immediately seduced by the beguiling
island, while Sabine feels isolated, heat-fatigued, and
ill-at-ease. As they adapt to new circumstances, their
marriage endures for better or worse, despite growing
political unrest and racial tensions that affect their daily
lives. But when George finds a cache of letters that Sabine
has hidden from him, the discovery sets off a devastating
series of consequences as other secrets begin to emerge.
