Rating:  Summary: A Warm Caribbean Breeze Review: Passing Through By: Colin Channer 4 starsPassing Through is a collection of short stories about a group of people living on a Caribbean island. The stories trace the lives of these characters and their offspring from the 1900's to the present. The stories seduce, shock and reveal secrets. Colin writes like a warm Caribbean breeze. He gives such spice and detail to his characters. This collection of stories will tease the senses. Although I didn't find it as sultry as Waiting in Vain or Satisfy My Soul Passing Through left me satisfied. Reviewed by: Dawn Mahogany Book Club Albany, N.Y.
Rating:  Summary: A great book Review: This is an excellent book. For all of those who are West Indian you will love this book. Written in the dialect that is common to us it was a wonderful read. I suggest that all go and read this book.
Rating:  Summary: Passing Through Review: This is the first of Colin Channer's book that I've read but it certainly won't be the last.
Weaving delicious tales together to form an intricate tapestry, the reader is transported to San Carlos and captivated by its beauty. Skillful character development and the richness of his language keep you page turning. I didn't want it to end... I didn't want to leave... But as he reminds us on the last page - we're all just passing through.
