| 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. |
| Synopsis: |
The author brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters set in a tightly knit Hindu community in Trinidad, against a backdrop of the idiosyncrasies of a particular culture and the sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant truths about human society. "A compelling, tragic, painfully comic masterpiece". THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT. |
