Cacti are prickly things, but they can also have blooms that are beautiful (and yet a little scary). And that’s life … things are not necessarily one or the other but infinitely more complex. This is the main lesson learned by 15 year old Rune in The Beast of Kukuyo - not about the cactus, but rather the complexity of life.

How do you feel about books, or cacti, or cacti-like books? Drop a comment below ⬇️

Throwback Sunday! Is that a thing? Hmmm doesn’t matter! It’s not that far a throw - just a few weeks ago! Here’s to adding books and tings to your Christmas list and moments when I get to hang out with my favourite sister!

A book of hard truths, sweetly told.
.
When we speak about Caribbean lit, we often leave Bermuda out of the mix - not surprisingly as it’s technically not in the Caribbean. But we have a shared history which makes it a part of the West Indies - a history that is often hard to look at head on.

In A Dark Iris Elizabeth Jones gives a fictionalized account of the horrors of enslavement. Through her young protagonist, a budding artist, Jones shows how art can shine light on stories that could otherwise forgotten.

Once upon a time … this simple phrase is one of my favourites… because afterwards comes magic! Pumpkin Belly and Other Stories takes Jamaican proverbs and mythical creatures and gives them a modern take.
