The Sigosande Tree
Is there a transition from death to the afterlife? This book is a collection of entertaining Caribbean stories, with characters who are related and each of their experiences form a branch in this fascinating tree. Spend some time in these quiet tropical villages where life may seem simple but full of satiating experiences. A woman proves to the villagers that there is a God. Baba, a revered elder atones for his family's shame. Delve into Nando's kindness and his brother's Gowrie's mad adventures with unknown and questionably unidentified forces. The stolen gun he uses to protect his family from the frightening unknown, the man too stubborn and willful to be afraid of anything and he shows his brilliance.The other side of the family starts with the matriarch Basmati, who bore ten children and gave them the courage to be strong and good, even when they lovingly terrorize a village elder. A wise and glorious Nanny who boldly changes the life of a young lady and teaches her about surviving in a world of village gossip, wagging tongues and jumbies. Nanny refuses to forgive herself for not being there for her own daughter but will not see another girl shunned by ignorance. Innocence mingled in children's laughter, a boy child borne out of wedlock who saves his sister from a relative's possible attack and the cover up that ensued. The cooking of delicious rotis and potatoes with hot peppers that is a staple meal which fed mouths along the way. The little boy lost and found in the cemetery, alive but ill. The families become connected through marriage and the author collects the funny, relaxing, nuggets of early life and preserves them for all generations. These tales are sewn together to capture the experiences that shapes the strong Sigosande.
