In Jacob Ross's marvelous collection of stories, he takes us to his Caribbean island, a magical world of longing and want. In these luminous stories, the author offers us a conversion in the true sense of the word. With the lyrical language of his vigorous prose, he transports us, with powerful oar-strokes, from one world to another. In the stories we journey to an island-world that captures perfectly the dense scent of sea salt, the turquoise sea sparkling in the sun, the immensity of the flawless skies. In this world of haunting beauty, Ross deftly discloses the compelling stories of his protagonists: a girl learns the nature of friendship and betrayal as she survives the plot of a foreigner who decides to drown her, an old man confronts history in the shape of a girl who emerges from a storm, a postmistress whose unusual interest in the letters she handles gives her more than an intimate knowledge of the goings-on in her community and leads her to the resolution of a crime. The protagonists teach us essential lessons about friendship, betrayal and love.
