“Ten intriguing tales from the Caribbean island of Barbados—an antidote to the daily farrago of celebrity lives served up by the media. This book celebrates the true 'homo ordinarius' and his response to personal, natural and man-made challenges. A well prepared potpourri lovingly served with gentle humour and a dash of nostalgia.”
“Reminiscent of some of Mavis Gallant's short fiction, the stories—all good reads—deal with the serious current issues of politics, economics, race, sex, land appropriation, and identity...these are hopeful stories.” - Robert Edison Sandiford
”[Edison T. Williams] is a story teller! He has the technique of gripping the reader from the beginning. [His] endings are classic Somerset Maugham/O. Henry. I have my favourites among the stories: 'Desmond Lola and Bassman' is fascinating...'The New Sybaris' is a riveting read... 'Island Man' is captivating... but I really loved them all.” - Peter Laurie
