Sand for Snow

"Robert Edison Sandiford moved from Canada to his parents’ native Barbados in 1996. He went for “wife and work” — his new bride was a Bajan, and he had landed an editor’s position at the leading daily newspaper. Yet his journey ‘Back Home’ also led to a series of insightful and often poignant meditations on relationships, island life, and the decline of his father, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease twelve years earlier. “Coming out of the Caribbean as these stories did, they could not have been written in any other time or place,” says Sandiford in the Preface. Part travelogue, part memoir, Sand for Snow: A Caribbean-Canadian Chronicle is a thoughtful, revealing, and often humorous trip to a most unexpected destination."--Publisher.

המשפט הראשון: THE QUESTION I'm most asked by Barbadians when I tell them I've moved from Montreal to this island is "But do you like it here?"
