Exploring the complicated landscape of human interaction within the
walls of the offices of Essential Products Ltd., this serious yet
comedic novel offers a glimpse into 1940s Trinidad. Against the
backdrop of the often hierarchical and always complex office space,
characters negotiate issues of sexual attraction and repulsion,
their attitude to colonial rule, racial tensions, and the changing
labor market of contemporary society. Filled with rich characters
and an acute but sympathetic portrayal of a microcosm of middle-
and lower-middle-class Trinidad, this satire turns a careful eye to
the disparities between the world of the office and wider society.
