A Walk Around the West Indies
Description:... Hunter Davies has visited 27 Caribbean islands and produced a book which is part travel book, as he describes his wanderings around 10 of these islands, and also a highly personal but very informative guide to all the islands. His 10 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.
