In Chiesne, readers get a glimpse of pre-Christopher Colombus Bahamas and get a chance to live in harmony and nature with the Lucayans. This is a great threatise from the Bahamas, and probably one of the most interesting pieces of fiction to come out of the Caribbean. 'High' details occult Obeah rituals and the trappings of the world pressured by modern United States of America. The book shows that lesbian love can be enduring, and that spiritual forces do exist beyond.
