Over the last few years Hunter Davies has visited twenty-seven different Caribbean islands, some of them several times. The result is a definitive yet very personal travel-cum-guidebook. Davies writes on all the islands with infectious enthusiasm, and focuses on ten of them in depth, including Barbados, Cuba, St Lucia, Tobago, Grenada and Antigua. Along the way he tracked down ex-pats who had gone to live and work in the Caribbean, hoping for true happiness - or at least a tan. He also talks to returnees - West Indians who, after several decades in the UK, have returned to their roots and experience different types of culture shock.
