| | 2. |  | Solibo Magnificent
from Anchor
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
An incredibly readable story of an endangered species: the oral tradition.

If you have read Chamoisaeu's other novels, you should appreciate this. Although it is not as fully developed as his later novels, Solibo Magnifique and Texaco, it is a wonderful first novel.

from University of Nebraska Press
Price: $15.00
Customer Review:
I bought this book because I love childhood memoirs. This is a beautiful discription of a mother who is probably on the edge and you never know it from the little boy's point of view. He sees beauty, humor, and ugliness in a poor, but loving Port de France, Martinique. I loved it and look forward to... more info
