Tropical Cocktales with a Twist Tales of Old Barbados

Just before her death, Duncan Stuart's mother discovered an old chest filled with letters and photographs of an unknown ancestry. The search for this lost history takes Duncan to Barbados in the West Indies. Before him, a world of wild life opens up and Duncan leaps in with the vigour of a lost youth which earns to be misspent. Told as an assortment of short stories and poems, this miraculous account of Duncan's transformation will take readers into an exotic, peculiar, sometimes murderous world, a world in which they must judge the truth for themselves.
