Night Calypso

Longlisted for the prestigious International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2006, a rich and sensuous novel from one of the Caribbean's greatest living writers. In the sultry heat of the summer a young orphan, Theo, is sent to live with Trinidad's doctor, Vincent Metivier. The doctor knows little of Theo's past, only that it has been troubled and that he now needs love and attention. But not only Theo needs Vincent's attention. The island is rife with leprosy. Together with Sister Weil, he tries to educate the population about this most taboo of diseases. With war in Europe looming and civil unrest building, the beauty of the island is overshadowed by human discord.
