Friendship, Loyalty, Barbadian Dialect and Culture

For those readers like myself who start a book and never finish it, Four Saints And An Angel will keep you wondering what happens next. Dr. Williams has such a way with words, that I feel like I am right there with the women. For example, ["She got to go sooner or later." The voice was authoritative but carried with it a hint of laughter, as if the speaker wanted to be taken seriously but could not help but acknowledge some absurdity in that very aspiration. The four women, of whom the speaker was one, sat on a broad, mosaically tiled balcony that hung over a sharp drop in the land, and before them lay the best of the glory of St. Euribius. The land fell away in waves of sugarcane sprouts, giving an impression of rich, brown chocolate that had been sprinkled with some green sugar. The flat plains of the northeast lay like a testament to the land's prosperity,....In the far distance, beyond the airport they could not see, though occasionally they could make out a descending plane, the hugeness of the sea lay in deceptive placidity. The deep blue, not the color of the sky but a deeper navy, gave visual testimony to the depths that the sunlight could not reach. It was vaguely frightening. "Estelle ain't going to no prison, girl."] Four Saints and an Angel, Chapter 1, Page 1...only the beginning!. If you love Barbados, Barbadians (Bajans), the dialect and the culture, this one will entertain you and your visitors for years to come. I recommend it for travel on the plane, while you wait at the Doctor's office or while taking in some sun on the beach. I'm lovin' it! "Barbados Uh Cum from."
