Fiction. A highly original novel of generations colliding in the ever-changing global landcape. In a central park in Ottowa's Sandy Hill, Gabe, an immigrant from Guyana, explores the past in the company of his young Canadian-born daughter. Grounds shift as characters come to life, tropical and temperate zones merge, the past and present form intermittent shadows, as Gabe delves into his youth on a sugar plantation next to the Edenic Corentyne coast by the Atlantic Ocean. Colorful characters give density to Gabe's story growing up in an Indian family struggling to live traditionally in faraway Guyana, as Christian, Hindu, and Muslim worlds come together, continually presenting us with new realities, new awakenings.

Review
"Drums of My Flesh has complexities that are challenging and simultaneously enriching for the post-colonial reader (and readers of other genres of fiction as well), due not least to its range and its somewhat poetic rendition of place and imagery." -- The Epoch Times, Mar 10, 2007
