Buxton Spice introduces a
vibrant new voice. Set in Tamarind Grove, a fictitional village on the
coast of Guyana in the seventies, it features a spirited young narrator,

sexuality. Impressionistic, raw, intimate, captures the essence of the
end of childhood culminating in the night when childhood and innocence
fall apart.
