God Carlos di Anthony C. Winkler

Anthony Winkler took the colonization of the Caribbean and told a story that is freshly horrific and personal. There are no good people in this story, only naive people, cunning people, foolish people, selfish people, and people in denial. When a crowd of such humans gets together, with a language barrier thrown into the mix, the results are tragic and real.

The Family Mansion di Anthony C. Winkler

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.

I tried and tried and tried to get into this book it was too easy to set down. The main character is very unlikable and I had a hard time getting past that. I would probably try this book again if it was available on audio but for now it is a DNF for me.

The Family Mansion di Anthony C. Winkler

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.

As a lover of history I was intrigued by some of the facts about the past of Jamaica that the book brought to life. In addition, the narrative painted a comprehensive portrait of family life in England, and how an upper class Englishman could flounder in the sugar cane fields of Jamaica. All this done marvelously tongue in cheek, and so quite humorous at times. But the book is no bed of rosses. It deals with some very heavy issues like slavery and primogeniture and it pulls no punches.
I am pleased that I had the chance to read this book.… (altro)
