Story
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 post-colonialism 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.

Interesting, enlightening, and entertaining
Reviewed: 04-01-16
The audio book brought the story of Trinidad and the characters to life in an amazing way. It was required reading for college, but nonetheless, the historical fiction was enlightening and entertaining. Some portions were slightly vulgar, but the author painted a realistic, raw picture of the post colonial island.
