Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1942, on the imagined island of San Carlos. 14-year-old Estrella Thomson is banished from the isolated fishing village where she has lived all her life. Her crime? Wanting to read and write. Prematurely ripe in body and mind and contemptuous of the boundaries placed on her by gender, race and social class, Estrella decides to go to Europe - the place where everything interesting seems to happen. But she has to get money for a ticket on a steamer, which means she has to get a job - which means she needs a pair of shoes, something she has never owned in her life. Naivety and hope abound.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Carey McCullough is haunted by a recurring dream and a damaged past. But the more he tries to forget, the more uprooted he feels. Then, while in Jamaica, he crosses paths with a radiant woman who attracts him like a flame. Their undeniable attraction is much more than chemistry. As Carey soon discovers from a reader of the spirit world, he and Frances share a history that has linked their souls for more than four hundred years. Though Carey views past lives with skepticism, he cannot explain knowing the language of an ancient African people--in particular the phrase: Mulewe anekoso kuduwe bana (I will search until I find you). Yet Frances conceals secrets of her own, with devastating consequences. And while Carey visits his best friend, a bond that was once thought to be unbreakable will be put to the ultimate test as startling truths at last emerge. . . .…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Best-selling writer Colin Channer's debut poetry collection tackles the unlikely literary figure of the Jamaican policeman. "The Caribbean policeman is a character both foreign and familiar at the center of this intimate debut poetry collection. Combining Jamaican patois and American English, it tells the story of violence, loss, and recovery in the wake of colonialism." --O, the Oprah Magazine, One of 19 Books to Pick Up This October "Extremely worthwhile . . . Channer brings an Olive Senior like narrativity to these sharp character sketches, and by deploying his keen novelist's eye he can trace the actions and effects of power on these men and their families in interesting and compelling language." --Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal Channer's debut poetry collection achieves an intimate and lyric meditation on family, policing, loss, and violence, but the work is enlivened by humor, tenderness, and the rich possibilities that come from honest reflection. Combined with a capacity to offer physical landscapes with painterly sensitivity and care, a graceful mining of the nuances of Jamaican patwa and American English, and a judicious use of metaphor and similie, Providential is a work of "heartical" insight and vulnerability. Not since Claude McKay's Constab Ballads of 1912 has a writer attempted to tackle the unlikely literary figure of the Jamaican policeman. Now, over a century later, Channer draws on his own knowledge of Jamaican culture, on his complex relationship with his father (a Jamaican policeman), and frames these poems within the constantly humane principles of Rasta and reggae. The poems within Providential manage to turn the intricate relationships between a man and his father, a man and his mother, and man and his country, and a man and his children into something akin to grace.…
