The Family Mansion (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The novel is timely: In 2012, Jamaica celebrates 50 years of independence from England. The novel explore the early British colonization of Jamaica.

Bound galleys available 8 months before publication.

This book isn't a sequel to God Carlos (Akashic, 2012), but it is thematically connected. God Carlos explored the Spanish colonization of Jamaica in the 16th century; Family Mansion picks up with the British. Having said this, the novels are both character-driven, they are not polemical.

Winkler is a hidden gem on Akashic's list. His comic novels The Lunatic and The Duppy would be enormous hits in a world governed by good taste.
