Produktbeschreibung

Crucian Fusion is a collection of fact and fiction that speaks to the rich history as well as present day St Croix, the largest US Virgin Island.

It is a book to be dipped into - over coffee or maybe a rum, at the beach, as the sun rises or sets. Provoked by thoughts, good and bad, the essays tell of nearly nine years on island. Conversations people who have contributed to the fabric of Crucian society whether through the arts and culture, music, farming or education. And the short stories, well, they are pure fiction although a couple are based on historical events and the Census of 1846.

Crucian Fusion is for islanders, residents and visitors interested in this spectacular part of America's Caribbean.
