About This Item
Toronto, ON: Knopf Canada, 2000. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to spine extremes; otherwise very minimal wear; Trapped in a loveless marriage, Stephen Sagar returns eagerly to his native Trinidad when he is commissioned by a powerful island politician to write his biography. Expecting to discover a lost innocence, Stephen is at once disillusioned - old friends are no longer recognizable and strangers view him with indifference or hostility. To piece together his own past, he explores the lush island landscape and encounters a woman who once loved him. In her need to love again, his own longing begins to awaken and intensify.
