Buxton Spice - Oonya Kempadoo

Set in Tamarind Grove, a fictional village on the coast of Guyana in the seventies, it features a spirited young narrator, Lula, growing up in a world full of wonder and danger. Against the backdrop of a disintegrating society, Lula and her friends explore their emerging sexuality. Impressionistic, raw, intimate, Buxton Spice captures the essence of the end of childhood culminating in the night when childhood and innocence fall apart.
