Tide Running

Rating:
Summary: Sexy and Poetic
Review: I stayed up all night with this one. Once I started I couldn't put it down. A menage trois' on a Carribean island with a married couple and a young man who appears innocent and naive(at first). The suspense, the eroticism, all quietly sneak up on you until you're holding your breath until the very last page. A MUST READ!

Rating:
Summary: Gorgeous, evocative and profound
Review: This novel about a poor young Tobagon man and his encounter with a wealthy couple who draw him into their lives, blithely, without considering the consequences, is one of the best portrayals of contemporary Caribbean life I've ever read. Brilliant, sensual, and ultimately disturbing, Tide Running is, like Kempadoo's first novel, Buxton Spice, an exploration of the effects of class and wealth on a young nation trying to come into its own in the shadow of its wealthy neighbor to the north.
