Publisher's Synopsis
Village Shuffle is the key trilogy of Volume 1. It is the pivotal introduction to the dynamics of Bamboo Village. The collection provides vital connections and insight into the lives of some of the most influential and multifaceted of its inhabitants. It highlights the attitudes, beliefs, camaraderie, and general mien of the villagers. It also touches on Bamboo Village's complex relationship with its often confrontational offshoot, Glentis Village. Although fictional it sparks very nostalgic feelings, especially in those persons who have grown up on a Caribbean Island, namely Barbados, where the imagery can easily be compared to the reality of the period 1950s to 1970s and in some instances the present. Be intrigued by the wittiness of "The Strangers", test your beliefs with "Becoming George" and ride the roller coaster of emotions with the events of "Run Sylvester Run", but above all have an enjoyable and entertaining read.
