I’m about half way through the book. It’s a brisk and compelling read. Richard sure has problems, doesn’t he? – his wife, his family, his livelihood, his country, and his own demons!

Robert, how great to hear that you’re enjoying the read! Yes, life can be very complicated for the men in our lives. Look forward to reading your review, when completed.

Rosaliene,
I read “Under the Tamarind Tree” in two sittings. I spent a whole day and evening reading over 200 pages. It was gripping from beginning to end, and ultimately charming. I especially liked the insight into Guyanese culture, ethnic and religious interplay, as well as political goings-on during the transition from British rule to “independence” in the 1950s and early 1960s. It is such an alien world to me, but your novel made me fall in love with it and want to see it for myself. It also made me wonder what Guyana is like now, with the oil discoveries and hook-up with Exxon-Mobil. The food sounds delicious.
What struck me most about your protagonist, Richard Cheong, was that despite all his troubles, he remained kind to everyone throughout, even though I was annoyed with his selfishness in the beginning. Of course I liked the chicken farm but I could never kill a chicken. Since I’ve known chickens personally, I haven’t been able to eat them, either, but still eat eggs.
I plan to write up a vignette soon about my ordering your book through Barnes & Noble. It’s an example of what I call “pull-through economics,” which exists in contrast to “trickle-down economics.” I’ll post it on my blog.

Katherine, this is great news! Thanks for sharing your comments with my readers. You and Robert have made my day 🙂 I look forward to reading your vignette.
The Guyanese people are very excited about their newly found oil wealth. Knowing the level of corruption in the country, I doubt that the poor working class will benefit from any of this wealth.
