Fiction Adventure
Miguel Bonnefoyβs colourful tale of a familyβs changing fortunes is also the fascinating story of Venezuelaβs development over the course of the 20th century. On the edge of the Latin American rainforest, the Oteros family farm sugar cane in their remote corner of the earth. Cut off entirely from the modern world, life is peaceful, uneventful. Until, that is, a succession of ships arrive in search of Henry Morganβs legendary lost treasure, said to be buried deep beneath the forest floor. Soon, the isolated villagers are exposed to all the trappings of modernity, while the travellersβ search for booty unearths more than anybody could have anticipatedβ¦ And so it was that the treasure lay buried amid scraps of sail and a pirateβs corpse, preserved within the belly of the Caribbeanβ¦
