Flickering Shadows

In his first novel, Kwadwo Agymah Kamau has written a story of the contests played out in the Carribean between the spirit of the people and the colonizing and corrupt structures that attempt to control the island paradise. With an intimate sense for the dialect of his native Barbados, Agymah Kamau tells a memorable story of exploitation, resistance, and rebellion, with a narrative point of view that extends beyond the boundaries of the living and the dead, to the life of the unnamed island and the people who live in the village known simply as the Hill.
