An Historical Odyssey of Trinidad
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book comes across as a trini version of 1000 years of solitude or one of Louis de Berniere's S American trilogy. It traces the history of Trinidad as seen through the eyes and experiences of a hermaphrodite muse and various colonials. It's perfect reading for anyone visiting the island or interested in Caribbean history.
