A Thief in the Village: And Other Stories of Jamaica

James Berry

A moving collection of stories from an award-winning author.

Gustas is nearly killed in the hurricane, trying to save his banana tree; Nenna and her brother Man-Man patrol the coconut plantation in the dead of night, ready to catch interlopers; Becky longs for a bicycle and Fanso longs to find his father who walked out thirteen years ago. This is a wonderfully atmospheric collection of contemporary short stories that bring James Berry’s Caribbean childhood vividly to life.
