"[A] brilliant, brutal study of a marriage overcast by too much mutual compromise." - The Independent

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.

"A searing account of the bitter disappointment suffered by Trinidadians on securing their independence from British colonial rule and of the mixed feelings felt by a white couple who decide to stay on. An earthy, full-blooded piece of writing, steaming with West Indian heat."  -  London Evening Standard (UK)

A beautifully written, unforgettable novel of a troubled marriage, set against the lush landscape and political turmoil of Trinidad - by the award-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch
