This wonderful anthology of fresh voices from the Caribbean . . . includes writers from Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. The diverse textures of the stories by 13 established and new authors weave a tapestry of the islands, water, sand, ocean breeze, and rum. Vivid settings serve as backdrops for a dazzling display of personalities. --Booklist
The wonder in these stories is that they show Caribbean culture--the people, sounds, food, and music . . . this book will appeal to readers of Caribbean fiction and beyond. --Library Journal
