A young Bahamian man who
lives in a middle income area of New Providence, and who struggles to make a
living, recently told me: “It's very expensive to be poor in the Bahamas
I touch on the plight of the
poor in The Bahamas in my novel “Love at Sunset”, as well as the extraordinary
lives of the wealthy.
I read 'Love at Sunset' and I must say you did an excellent job portraying the lives of the rich, the poor and middle class in The Bahamas, Fay. It was an interesting, exciting read which I enjoyed tremendously.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya! So glad you enjoyed "Love at Sunset".
