A Walk Around the West Indies by Hunter Davies
Hunter Davies has visited twenty-seven Caribbean islands and produced a book which is part travel book, as he describes his wanderings around ten of these islands, and also a highly personal but very informative guide to all the islands. His ten islands include Barbados, Grenada, Tobago, St Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua and Cuba - some English speaking, some French and Spanish. Along the way, he tracks down ex-pats who have gone to live and work in the Caribbean, hoping for true happiness or at least a tan. He also talks to returnees - West Indians who after several decades in the UK have returned to their roots and experience different types of cultural shock. The West Indies is an informative, revealing and fascinating book for all those who already love the Caribbean or thinking of going for the first time.
Hunter Davies is the author of over thirty books which include such modern classics as the authorised biography of The Beatles, The Glory Game and A Walk Around the Lakes. He has written several other walking books and also a travel biography of Christopher Columbus which took him to the West Indies and the Americas. He is also well known as a broadcaster and journalist and writes for the Independent, Sunday Times, Daily Mail and New Statesman. He is married to the novelist and biographer Margaret Forster.
