in the dusky, rural past of the 1940s when Trinidad is on the cusp of reincarnation as a post-colonial entity. He laces every page with tension as he plays with the opposing forces dominating islanders’ lives, exemplified in the clash between poor and rich, between Hinduism and.
The plot pivots on Dalton Changoor’s disappearance, which prompts Marlee to pay Hans extra to keep watch overnight – money Hans wants to buy his family a plot of land for a house in Bell. Shweta realises, too late, she never “exactly agreed” to Hans taking the post. There isn’t a dud moment or misplaced word. Hosein – a biology teacher who writes poems and stories by night – has a poet’s gift for similes .
“Who is you really, Hans?” asks Shweta just before he leaves after a vicious row one rain-drenched night. It feels as if Hosein is asking his country the same question, or would if he could turn back the clock. Just as Hans has to live with the consequences of his actions, as he grapples with the inability to live in two worlds at once, so do we all. It is a useful if painful lesson from a superlative book that deserves to win prizes.
