Marshall Sargeant is born with the century in Paradise, on the island of Jamaica. As a young man, he is entrusted with a mystical quest, to overcome a curse that has been put on his family and he must do this by returning to Africa, whence they were brought as slaves.  In his strange and sometimes magical childhood, it seems inconceivable to Marshall that he should ever leave the island, but eventually he does, travelling first to wartime London, where he marries and mixes with a clubland crowd of musicians, and politicians, and then on to Africa and the struggle to escape from the colonial past.  Marshall's life turns full circle in his epic mission to defeat the duppy, or ghost, that started him on his voyage. In the telling of Marshall's story, Ferdinand Dennis has created a powerful narrative of the African experience, and in its breadth of vision and feeling, a novel that is truly universal.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555302121745,"sku":"GOR000980994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49656091312401,"sku":"GOR007113581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50555365228817,"sku":"GOR002098042","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0006497845.jpg?v=1751425207"},{"product_id":"voices-of-the-crossing-book-ferdinand-dennis-9781852425838","title":"Voices of the Crossing","description":"The British Empire is no more, but at its height colonial subjects regarded Britain as the centre, a place of pilgrimage, if not residence. This collection of original essays brings together the distilled experiences of fourteen very different writers from the Caribbean, Africa and the Indian subcontinent. All started life in the former colonies and have either spent extended periods in Britain or settled there - and all  have enriched British literature with new themes and ways of seeing, and an exuberant use of language. Their accounts - reflective, anecdotal, autobiographical - of their very different cultural journeys and of how living in Britain has influenced their writing  creates a rich medley of voices.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609323544849,"sku":"GOR001898859","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108195332369,"sku":"GOR001798167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852425830.jpg?v=1751249432"},{"product_id":"last-blues-dance-book-ferdinand-dennis-9780006497837","title":"The Last Blues Dance","description":"Exiled from his native Jamaica, Boswell Anderson, a reformed gambler and rake, is the proprieter of the run-down Caribbean Sunset Cafe in Hackney.
