Product Description
Book Description
Teeton lives three lives in England—one with a bohemian group of artist exiles, another is his curiously intimate relationship with his landlady, and finally as a secret revolutionary from the Caribbean island of San Cristobal. Thus far, Teeton has kept each aspect of his life separate from one another, but when he returns home and joins an incipient revolt, his once separate worlds begin to fuse together with disastrous results. This novel is a powerful study of the impossibility of disentangling British and Caribbean lives, the nature of misogyny, and the conflict between the calls of art and revolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A haunting novel, Feb 25 2006
By Kit - Published on Amazon.com
This is the story of a group of West Indian artists in London. It's frightening because it's West Indian. The violence of it's action, far from catering to a mindless sensationalism, works in the service of a fictional imagination that's deeply political.
