Produktbeschreibung
A sweeping family saga exploring the secrets we keep and the lines we'll cross for love. Cailin is a naïve, adventure-seeking girl living in a Jamaican Great House. Archie is a teenage boy with a chip on his shoulder. Sharpe is a young man with divided loyalties, living as an outsider in a poor hillside village. Yet, all three long for the same thing-a father's approval. But the man who has the power to give it to them won't...or can't. Behind his back, his property workers call him a tyrant for allegedly murdering a worker in the past, and his family walks on eggshells when he returns home from his drunken visits with his mistress. All while Cailin, Archie, and Sharp's unfulfilled desires spiral into rejection, mistaken affections, and murder. Set in a seaside village during the final year of World War II and Jamaica's first general election, When Trees Fall is the first novel in Dale Mahfood's Wood and Water series. If you enjoy well-drawn, relatable characters and a compelling story you don't want to put down, you'll love this first installment in Dale Mahfood's series. Join Cailin, Archie, and Sharpe for their Caribbean coming-of-age saga. 10% of the sales profit of this book goes to Trees That Feed Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is "planting fruit-bearing trees to feed people, create jobs, and benefit the environment" in fourteen Caribbean, Central and South American, and African countries.
