In this fascinating picture of life in the West Indies in the 40's and 50's, Christopher Vanier presents a collection of anecdotes from his early childhood on St. Kitts to English-style boarding school on Antigua and his return to St. Kitts where he must prepare to compete for an all-important scholarship that offers the only real chance to leave the islands and obtain a university education.
Vanier speaks with both affection and a restless resentment of the encapsulated world of a small island.
