Nalo Hopkinson

In Midnight Robber, the Caribbean-colonised planet of Toussaint is in the middle of a carnival. Tan-Tan, the Robber Queen, is enjoying the festival until her power-corrupted father commits an unforgivable crime.

A particularly hard but endlessly fascinating book to read. Nalo Hopkinson, a Caribbean born writer has created a world based fully on these roots and the results are both familiar and alien. The book deals with themes such as sexual abuse, guilt, cultural differences and leaves you both wanting it to end and never wanting to leave. I would like a book exploring more thoroughly the more technologically advanced of Granny Nanny, exploring that society. Highly recommended.
