A Walk Around the West Indies

A Walk Around the West Indies

by HunterDavies (Author)

Synopsis

Hunter Davies has visited twenty-seven Caribbean islands and produced a book which is part travel book, as he describes his wanderings around ten of these islands, and also a highly personal but very informative guide to all the islands. His ten islands include Barbados, Grenada, Tobago, St Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua and Cuba - some English speaking, some French and Spanish. Along the way, he tracks down ex-pats who have gone to live and work in the Caribbean, hoping for true happiness or at least a tan. He also talks to returnees - West Indians who after several decades in the UK have returned to their roots and experience different types of cultural shock. The West Indies is an informative, revealing and fascinating book for all those who already love the Caribbean or thinking of going for the first time.
