Tide Running by Oonya Kempadoo

Cliff and Ossie have grown up in Plymouth on the island of Tobago, their lives turning on the axis of small town life: young men fooling outstide Masta Barbar's shop, gangsta-rap blasting; Baywatch and 'Opree Winfree' interrupted by frantic street calls from the preacher-man; a morning's fishing - and sex. Then a young couple and their child arrive on the island. Bella, a Caribbean woman, and Peter, an Englishman, come to live on the hill overlooking the sea. And it is here, drawn by the cool 'flim-style' house, that the harsh, bright, brittle life of urban Plymouth may be kept briefly at bay. It is here too that desires and tensions deepen. This 2001 Picador Paperback is in good condition.
