Book Selections
White Witch of Rosehall
by Herbert G. de Lisser
Robert Rutherford is sent to the islands to learn the planter’s business from the bottom. He becomes an overseer at Rosehall, the property of a young widow, Mrs Palmer, whose three husbands have all died in suspicious circumstances. She takes a violent fancy to Rutherford, who is also embarrassed by the attentions of his housekeeper, Millicent.

Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley
by Timothy White
Bob Marley left an indelible mark on modern music, both as a reggae pioneer and as an enduring cultural icon. Catch a Fire, now a classic of rock biography, delves into the life of the leader of a musical, spiritual, and political explosion that continues today.

Banana Shout
by Mark Conklin
Vietnam draft dodger Tavo Gripps is shanghaied, by a modern-day pirate, to a primitive Caribbean fishing village. He relies on hippie voodoo to survive among drug smugglers, the DEA, a displaced wild counterculture and a lost African tribe.

Walk Good: Travels to Negril, Jamaica
by Roland Thomas Reimer
‘Walk Good’ is an adventure travel story chronicling the experiences of the author in Negril, Jamaica. It’s an escape to the sunny beaches, the seas and the mountain back roads of the island. The culture of the island, including the food, the music, a smattering of history and the character of the people form the backdrop of the story, which includes a visit to the notorious Hedonism resort, a scuba dive in the waters off Negril, a mass nude wedding on the beach in Runaway Bay and a trip to Bob Marley’s mausoleum in the high hills of St Ann’s.

How Stella Got Her Groove Back
by Terry McMillan
Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica and her world gets rocked to the core – not just by the relaxing effects of the sun and sea and an island full of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He’s tall, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean – and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it.
