Back in print: an extraordinary first novel by'a writer to watch and to enjoy.'*
Told in the voice of a girl as she moves from childhood into adolescence,
Buxton Spice is the story the town of Tamarind Grove: its eccentric families, its sweeping joys, and its sudden tragedies. The novel brings to life 1970s Guyana-a world at a cultural and political crossroads-and perfectly captures a child's keen observations, sense of wonder, and the growing complexity of consciousness that marks the passage from innocence to experience.
