The Caribbean, a name to conjure with, retains an allure that is half hype and half history. Michener's magnificent novel captures the area's magnetic attraction. He begins his story long before Columbus. From earliest times, the Caribbean has been a crossroads of culture - from the conquest of peaceful Arawaks by their more powerful neighbors, from Columbus' arrival to the bloody revolt on Haiti, from slave trade and sugar plantations to the rise of Castro. Michener gives us 700 dramatic years in a tale that teems with revolution and romance, slavery and superstition, vivid characters and dramatic destinies.
