Tobacco Road in a Trinidadian setting, but with the promise of "A
Brighter Sun." This is the story of Tiger and his child bride,
Urmilla, and their strivings to earn a livelihood and find a real
meaning for their living amidst the poverty-stricken, East Indian,
Negro, and Chinese population of wartime Trinidad. The exotic
flavor of Calypso speech and the wild gaiety of Caribbean Saturday
nights are a backdrop for Tiger's painful ascent into manhood, and
his pitiful yearnings toward education, that make this story
universal despite its strange mores... Special. (Kirkus Reviews)
Trinidad is in the turbulent throes of the Second World War. For
Tiger, young and inexperienced, these are years in which to prove
his manhood and independence. With his child-bride Urmilla, shy,
bewildered and anxious, with two hundred dollars in cash and a
milking cow, he sets out into the wilderness of adulthood.
