Set in late 18th century England, the story explores the life of Dido Belle, a mixed-race girl raised in the aristocratic household of Lord Chief Justice. The narrative delves into her unique experiences and challenges within a society grappling with issues of race and class. Through Dido's perspective, the novel examines themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of heritage, offering a poignant reflection on the intersections of race and privilege in historical context.
Looking for Cazabon
Looking for Cazabon is the first poetry collection by the Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott and was inspired by the paintings of Michel Jean Cazabon, Trinidad's most famous 19th-century painter, and the subject of Scott's novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. The poems - written while Scott was working on the novel - celebrate love, friendships and the island's natural beauty but it is a wonderment undercut by violence, both historical and contemporary.
