'Captivating from the very first page' Jennifer Egan
Shortlisted for the Fiction category in the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature
Discovered
amidst a tangle of sea grape trees by the childless Rachel Fisher, baby
Moshe's provenance is a thing of myth and mystery; his unusual
appearance, with blueish, translucent skin and duo-toned hair, only
serves to compound his mystique.
Equally feared and ridiculed by
peers as he grows up, he finds a surprising kindred soul in the striking
and bold Arrienne Christie, but their complex relationship is fraught
with obstacles that tear them apart as powerfully as they are drawn
together.
Beginning in the late 1950s, four years before Jamaica's independence from colonial rule, A Tall History of Sugar's
epic love story sweeps between a rural Jamaica, scarred by the legacies
of colonialism, and an England increasingly riven by race riots and
class division.
