Once on the Isle of Spice, a novel
by C. C. Alick

 

Contrary belief systems, Christianity and Obeah (an offshoot of Voodoo) collide in the tropical heat. Two boys coming of age in a village called Jean Anglais in an ambiance of magic, mythology and raconteurs galore teasing out things that go bump in the night. Political turmoil, murder mystery, romance, infidelity, an escape from prison and cheating the hangman, all baked into this slice of magical realism where history and the imagination come together in a rage.
