The A List edition of Harold Sonny Ladoo's enduring novel, a raw,
unsentimental story of life in a small Caribbean community.
Featuring a new introduction by David Chariandy Set in the Eastern
Caribbean at the beginning of the twentieth century, No Pain Like
this Body describes the perilous existence of a poor rice-growing
family during the August rainy season. Their struggles to cope with
illness, a drunken and unpredictable father, and the violence of
the elements end in unbearable loss. Through vivid, vertiginous
prose, and with brilliant economy and originality, Ladoo creates a
fearful world of violation and grief, in the face of which even the
most despairing efforts to endure stand out as acts of courage.
