God Carlos par Anthony C. Winkler

Anthony Winkler took the colonization of the Caribbean and told a story that is freshly horrific and personal. There are no good people in this story, only naive people, cunning people, foolish people, selfish people, and people in denial. When a crowd of such humans gets together, with a language barrier thrown into the mix, the results are tragic and real.

The Family Mansion par Anthony C. Winkler

All this done marvelously tongue in cheek, and so quite humorous at times. But the book is no bed of rosses. It deals with some very heavy issues like slavery and primogeniture and it pulls no punches.
I am pleased that I had the chance to read this book.… (plus d'informations)
