"In the circlet of golden sunlight shone an even brighter light, reflected from a solid gold pocket watch, which glint like a graet eye from the brown dirt where it lay...Pancho gazed at this splendid object as if it had fallen from the pocket of the Almighty himself."
So begins a chain of events that lead to shame and scandal in the sleepy southern village of Erin,arced around a blue seacoast dotted with fishing boats.
In this colletion of linked stories, popular historian Angelo Bissessarsingh Turns his hand to fiction, drawing on a fund of kmowledge to recreate the colourful village characters and huge changes that overtake their way of life as a new centry unflods. This portrait of Trinidad goes beyond nostalgia to bring alive the harsh relaity of the days when cocoa was king-until the oilmen came.
