Even in Paradise by Elizabeth Nunez

5.0

I loved this retelling of King Lear set in Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica. It tells the story of three sisters and their doting father in the Caribbean although there is trouble in paradise. The tale is told from the perspective of a family friend and touches on issues of race, class, politics, love, ambition and deceit in a fresh, unexpected way.
