| Description: |
The well-loved debut novel from the acclaimed author of THE PIRATE'S DAUGHTER - the return of an international favourite. |
| Synopsis: |
An unforgettable story of three women born into a divided, troubled paradise, that is also a history of a nation. Easter, 1981. With Jamaica in a state of emergency, the Landing family gathers to bury one of its own. For Monica Landing, who had not spoken to her daughter in fifteen years, the death of Lana is the cruellest kind of loss. For Lana's younger sister, Jean, it is an incomprehensible tragedy. All she knows it that her beloved homeland holds no future for her. But flight means crossing a landscape where soldiers turned executioners and armed gangs rule. It means making her way through the memories that engulf her, with perhaps the only man she has ever loved by her side. THE TRUE HISTORY OF PARADISE captures all the grace, beauty and brutality that are indelible parts of the Jamaican experience. |
