Once in a while I'm reading one of the historical fiction books by Cynthia McLeod, a Surinamese writer. Since I stayed in the country for some months four years ago, I'm interested in its history. And these books always tell you some nice history and are an easy and pulling read.

So this book as well, telling about live on a sugar plant in the beginning of the 20th century. It tells the sotry of the white director and the working people from India and Indonesia, the rumours, the beliefs. Interesting, a writer I would read more of.
