"This wonderful anthology of fresh voices from the
Caribbean...includes writers from Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas,
Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. The diverse
textures of the stories by 13 established and new authors weave a
tapestry of the islands, water, sand, ocean breeze, and rum. Vivid
settings serve as backdrops for a dazzling display of
personalities."
--"Booklist"
"The wonder in these stories is that they show Caribbean
culture--the people, sounds, food, and music...this book will
appeal to readers of Caribbean fiction and beyond."
--"Library Journal"
""Pepperpot" is an eclectic mix of adventure, humor, the spirit
world, family relationships, and other subject matters which gives
you something to think about."
--Ski-wee's Book Corner
