    About this audiobook

    This award-winning collection of Barbadian stories showcases the controversial and often hidden aspects of a Caribbean paradise. Love, relationships and the human condition are explored through surprisingly humorous narratives on politics in the rum shop, sex-tourism, domestic abuse and much more. Shakirah Bourne writes in a satirical and humorous style that is brilliantly realised through the voice talents of Levi King, Janelle Gilkes and Ayesha Gibson-Gill. Featuring authentic Barbadian accents, that bring the author's style of wry humour from the 'mouth of babes' to life, the audiobook is also enhanced by atmospheric sound. Special bonus story.

      This was a delightful listen. Loved the sound effects included in the production but sometimes it was too loud and so overshadowed the narrator’s voice.
