Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of 1961 Barbados, the narrative explores the tensions between the ruling "Labor" party and the disillusioned sugar estate workers questioning the legacy of slavery. Through a lens of acerbic comedy, it critiques the collusion of the landowning elite, the church, and their Black allies, exposing themes of ignorance and self-deception. This bleak tale serves as a microcosm for the political landscape, addressing the complexities of race and the absurdities of societal status and hypocrisy.
