4.0
Most of these short stories reflect the diversity of the Caribbean. It includes not only the English speaking writers or poets but also those from the French, Spanish and Dutch speaking islands. Most of these authors are well known. And most of these stories are top notch.
The editors chose to arrange these 52 short stories based on the birth dates of writers. But the quality of writing is top notch. The stories can be a simple tale of the influence of family, the distant effect of war, the impact of Panama Canal or the World wars to the effect of hurricanes on a nation or role of immigration.
If you want one book that truly reflects the Caribbean in its diversity in people and culture, then this is the pick. This is definitely a collection you never knew you needed.
