Sobre este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch.

Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island.

As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There’s Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the ‘notorious’ founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago.

In a community in which women’s voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage…

A tour de force Caribbean novel of female revolution that will keep you reading all hours… A compelling and unforgettable read
Passiontide imagines a feminist reckoning in the wake of one woman’s murder on the fictional Caribbean island of St Colibri... Roffey masters the building sense of tension and scale as the women’s protest gathers strength (Recommends)
Powerful and devastating
Compelling… Passiontide is suspense-filled, and simmering with anger
A vital novel…fiery, funny and ferociously feminist (DIANA EVANS, author of Ordinary People)
