    About this audiobook

    Martinique, 1765: Brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master, Father Cleophas, with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back the 42 slaves claimed by English invaders at the hospital plantation in Fort Royal. While Lucien, barely in his teens, sees the trip as a great adventure, the older and worldlier Emile has no illusions about the dangers they will face. But with no choice other than to obey Cleophas, and sensing the possibility of finding his first love Celeste, he sets out with his brother on this 'reckless venture.'

      Unlearnable Lessons on My Father’s Deathbed

      I was at my father’s side much of the time in his final weeks, a witness to both the gifts and miseries of being near death. Nurses came and went, patient, long-suffering. They sat beside him for hours at a time, dousing spongy lollipops in water and

      Sugar Money is based on an unpublished manuscript which details slavery in Grenada in 1793. Grenada was previously under French rule but the English are the new masters. Two brothers Emile and Lucien are sent from Martinique by French Dominican friar Cleophas to collect slaves from Grenada to help the mill. The narrator is excellent, deft at handling French, Kriol and English.

      This novel has been well researched and I admire the ability of the author to try to balance a bit of humor with the grim nature of slavery. However, I suspect that making this seem like an adventure will hurt rather than help in the long run. This will be seen more as an introduction to the historical slave narration. But there are better books that better inform the reader on this time period.
