Book excerpt: Set in the small Caribbean town of Vieux Fort, St. Lucia, and using American World War II occupation of the town as backdrop, The Stall Keeper is a novel of frustrated love, provincialism, superstition, religious bigotry, frustrated love, and coming of age. It portrays a damaged culture and explores the pathos and sociopsychological makeup of a people. In the Stall Keeper the inhabitants of Vieux Fort were said to be waiting for the Americans¿ return to bring back the good times. Five-year-old Henry whose father died when he was eighteen months old was still walking up to men asking, ¿Mister, are you my father?¿ His mother, Eunice, a strict Seventh Day Adventist with the gift of foretelling the future, would not be unequally yoked. Eugene, a stall keeper and the town¿s most colorful and free-spirited character, was a woman living in a man¿s body, and a man living in a woman¿s world. Ruben, a favorite son, an intellectual, a famous cricketer and a staunch Roman Catholic, falls madly in love with Eunice. What happens in Vieux Fort when Henry teams up with Eugene and Ruben warms his way into the heart of Eunice is a tale of magic and tragedy.
Download or read book Beggar s Feast written by Randy Boyagoda and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beggar's Feast is a novel about a man who lives in defiance of fate. Sam Kandy was born in 1889 to low prospects in a Ceylon village and died one hundred years later as the wealthy headman of the same village, a self-made shipping magnate, and father of sixteen, three times married and twice widowed. In four parts, this enthralling novel tells Sam's story from his boyhood—when his parents, convinced by his horoscope that he would be a blight upon the family, abandon him at the gates of a distant temple—through his dramatic escape from the temple and journey across Ceylon to Australia and Singapore, before his bold return to the Ceylon village he once called home. There he tries to win recognition for his success in the world—at any cost. A novel about family, pride, and ambition, about what it takes for one man to make something out of nothing, set on a gorgeous, troubled island caught between tradition and modernity, Beggar's Feast establishes Boyagoda as a major voice in international literature.
