Sugar, Sugar Reviews

'This collection adds a new dimension to the history of sugar, post emancipation, and shares a previously untold strand in the story of the making of contemporary Britain.' Joseph Harker, (Guardian). 'Lainy's stories ignite over and over: the desire to ask more questions than are answerable - the imagination kindled and smothered by layers of imponderables. So much that will never be known because that past is interred with their bones!' Clem Seecharan, Caribbean historian
