5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom from a "Trinidude", July 30, 2003

"carequinha" (Puerto Escondido, Mex) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turn Again Tiger (Caribbean Writers Series) (Paperback)

"Sometimes one must take one step backwards to make two steps forward". Eleven years ago I read this book in a Caribbean Literature class and Selvon's words still resonate inside my thick skull! If you enjoy the lilting rhythms of Caribbean folks, you will find this book succulent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting character studies, March 16, 2000

Paige Davenport (Montgomery, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turn Again Tiger (Caribbean Writers Series) (Paperback)

It's a bit slow for the American reader, but Mr Selvon produces vivid pictures of his characters. It's certainly worth reading, whether you're a Trini native or if you simply love the islands.
