Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

"The author unsparingly probes the thoughts and emotional undercurrents of each character in an old-fashioned yet dexterous exposition," said LJ's reviewer of this novel (LJ 5/1/73). The Chip-Chip Gatherers features a collection of ramshackle residents of a small village in Trinidad who have long since abandoned hope. Those who don't like their novels sugar-coated will find this "good reading."

Product Description

At the centre of the crowded, ramshackle community in Trinidad stands Egbert Ramsaran, the proud owner of the Ramsaran Transport Company. There is also his son, Wilbert; Vishnu, the grocer; Julian, hoping to become a doctor; and the beautiful Sushila. This is the story of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Mar 10 2002
By P. Persad "lover of good books" (Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good solid story on the shallowest level, and a rather sarcastic social commentary on deeper levels. Well worth the time to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Readable, but the characters are a bit too well defined., Sep 19 1998
By A Customer
I enjoyed the book (it's a good light read), but a lot of it was beating about the bush. The book did get better towards the end. I wonder if it was the writer's first book? Certainly his "North of South" was better written.
