Pepperpot - Best New Stories from the Caribbean (Paperback)

"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
