Book excerpt: Barbados, a small island in the Caribbean, has a rich and vibrant culture influenced by the almost 350 years it spent as a colony of England and by its West African roots stemming from the slave trade. Once dominated by the sugarcane industry and the white-owned plantations that supported it, today Barbados is a popular tourist destination and a hub for manufacturing. Barbadians, or Bajans as they refer to themselves, take pride in their home, even long after they move away.

He knows not why, but a party is a party. There he meets a variety of people, including a couple who leave following a guide. From a window he observes them gallop off into a landscape that cannot lie within the city. Later, while reviewing the library’s holdings he finds a similar scene. Puzzled, and as a result careless of time, he finds himself locked in the library basement. He tries a fire door and falls onto a riverbank, where, to his confusion, a mail-box directs him to catch up with the others. What others? Along the way he finds accommodation has been arranged for him at a series of inns, but is unsettled by their strange architecture. He is commissioned to help protect the new earth he has been taken to from unauthorized intruders.
