This novel, inspired by adventures of the author's ancestor, is set on three continents. This is probably the only historical fictional novel by an African writer to span three continents, deal with the triangular trade, emancipation and the dynamics of mixed race families in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean in the 19th Century. In 1850, when Hans K ndo Quist decides to leave his family in Quitta, a small town on the Guinea (West) Coast of Africa, to visit his Danish father in Denmark, all hell breaks loose! He braves the discrimination and malice of his foes, herculean hurricanes and backbreaking labor aboard The Pharaoh. After all this, a beautiful, blue-eyed vixen causes him to be thrown overboard. He finds himself between the devil and the deep blue sea, when he wakes up on an island in the Caribbean, in the shanty of an exotic prostitute, Daffodil. K , Daffodil and some recently emancipated slaves are desperate for one thing ... to leave the island. There is only one person who can help get them off the island...a red-haired Scotsman with a nefarious agenda!
