- Synopsis
- I AM sitting on top of a political vol cano," wrote Carl Bradshaw, the American journalist, in his first dispatch from sunny, beautiful Santa Marta. For his sharp eyes saw beneath the placid surface of the little Caribbean island to the pressures below, which were bound to erupt in a blaze of violence. About the main story of jealous love - and a "perfect" crime - the author has woven the many threads that make up the complex pattern of West Indian li fe. The impact of British colonial administration, the centuries-old friction between white planters and their native workers, the well-to-do society which carries on its pursuit of pleasure while explosive forces gather - these are among the dynamic elements that sweep Island in the Sun to an affecting climax.
